What's Wrong?

When using SSH mode on the desktop Claude code app, the prompt "Start the dev server" doesn't open the Preview panel and instead returns "The server is running on http://localhost:3000".

What Should Happen?

Claude should open the preview url supplied by the ssh server in the inline preview window in the Claude app.
