Claude Desktop (macOS) freezes due to vm_bundles growing 10GB+ per session

Describe the bug

The Claude desktop app freezes repeatedly when using co-work mode. Root cause is the vm_bundles folder growing to 10-11GB within a single session, causing the app to hang.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open Claude desktop app
2. Use co-work mode
3. App freezes
4. Check ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/vm_bundles — size is 9-11GB

Expected behaviour
vm_bundles should not grow unbounded. App should not freeze.

Actual behaviour
vm_bundles grows to 10-11GB within one session. App freezes and requires force quit. Clearing the folder only provides temporary relief as it rebuilds immediately.

Environment

• macOS Darwin 24.3.0
• Chip: Apple Silicon (M-series)

Workaround
Cron job to delete vm_bundles when it exceeds 2GB. Not a real fix.
