[Bug] Claude Code unable to connect to Chrome extension, connection page opens and closes

Bug Description
Basically I have the Claude in Chrome extension open and the Claude code is not able to connect it. I am not able to take actions in the browser via the extension. The extension has worked previously in the same settings in other cases where it needs to spin up localhost:8000 and verify the work etc. It worked then but I'm not sure why it's not working now. The Chrome extension is installed. I am able to use the Chrome extension as a sidebar in Chrome for my webpages. When I'm trying to reconnect the page opens and closes. I'm not sure what's wrong but the Chrome extension is not able to connect to the Claude code
