What's Wrong?
When I try to run Claude code in a container, whether in the official .devcontainer or else, when launching claude inside the container and reaching out the step to allow Claude to work on the current directory, Claude exits silently afterwards.
What Should Happen?
Claude should display its TUI interface and allow me to prompt it.
