[BUG] Claude Code crashes when receiving dispatch from Claude mobile app

What's Wrong?

Claude Code crashes/exits every time I use the dispatch feature from the Claude mobile app on my phone to send a task to Claude Code running on my Mac. This is 100% reproducible — it crashes immediately upon receiving the dispatched task. Updated from 2.1.81 to 2.1.84 and the issue persists.

What Should Happen?

Claude Code should receive the dispatched task from the mobile app and execute it without crashing. The dispatch feature should work seamlessly between the Claude mobile app and Claude Code on the desktop.

Error Messages/Logs

No error messages or logs available — Claude Code crashes/exits immediately. No logs directory found at ~/.claude/logs/.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Have Claude Code running on Mac (v2.1.84)
2. Open the Claude mobile app on phone
3. Use the dispatch feature to send any task/command to Claude Code
4. Claude Code crashes/exits immediately upon receiving the dispatch

This is 100% reproducible with any dispatched command.
