What's Wrong?

When sending any message in the Dispatch tab (both from the Claude mobile app and from the Dispatch tab in Claude Desktop), the message shows as "Read" and a typing indicator appears, but no response ever comes back.

Regular Claude Code conversations work fine — only Dispatch is broken.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open Dispatch tab in Claude mobile app or Claude Desktop
  2. Send any message (e.g. "How's the health of this computer?")
  3. Message shows "Read" checkmark and typing indicator appears
  4. No response is ever delivered — the indicator just stays indefinitely

What Should Happen?

Dispatch should respond to messages sent from mobile and desktop, just like regular Claude Code conversations.
