My current versions of claude code is the strict latest, exactly: Claude 1.1.4498 (24f768) 2026-02-26T19:47:09.000Z

THe problem happens on two differet computer.

This is currently using my nvme at a much facer pace than anything else. I'm very suprised this is happening since two weeks without any fix, not sure how in the world could this be considered ready to be used in production.

What Should Happen?

CoWork vm / process should not use IO that much.
