What's Wrong?

I successfully connected to my Docker container via SSH in Claude Code desktop app for Windows. I successfully chose the working directory. However, when I write my initial prompt and execute it, the conversation gets stuck. The progressing status is shown, but I do not get any answer/output. No matter what prompt I write, no matter what model I use.

This is happening only when connected via SSH. In Local mode, everything works fine.

What Should Happen?

When I type a prompt, Claude Code should return some answer/output. It shouldn't get stuck.
