[Bug] Unhandled promise rejection on non-writable temp directory causes startup hang

Bug Description
Turns out when Claude's temp files aren't writable (unclear how I got into the state), the CLI and Extension will just hang at startup due to an unhandled promise rejection in e.g. /private/tmp/claude/-Users-mirascope.
This kept me busy for 2h reinstalling/rebooting etc but was actually easily identified once I set CLAUDE_CODE_DIAGNOSTICS_FILE=/Users/mirascope/.claude/debug/diagnostics.log.
Perhaps it'd be more fruitful to have a catchall rejection handler that at least shows a strack trace? I and/or Claude could have fix this in seconds.
Thank you!
