What's Wrong?

This has happened several time now. A bug in Claude Code's Windows notification handling — clicking the "waiting for input" notification while minimized shouldn't cause a crash. No crash logs if available (in %APPDATA% or the terminal output before the crash). A huge issue.

The app is minimized
A Windows notification from Claude appears for asking for permission to do from Claude
Clicking the notification causes the app to crash
Wipes out all the work.

What Should Happen?

It should open Claude session
