[BUG] computer-use screenshot fails on macOS Tahoe 26.x — Swift continuation leak

Environment
- macOS Tahoe 26.3 (Build 25D5112c)
- Claude Code 2.1.87
- Max plan, interactive session
- Computer use enabled via /plugin
Bug
screenshot tool fails every time with:
- "Screenshot capture returned nil (permission missing or SCContentFilter failure)"
- Or: timeout after 30s
- Terminal shows:
SWIFT TASK CONTINUATION MISUSE: captureScreenWithExclusion(displayId:width:height:allowedBundleIds:jpegQuality:) leaked its continuation without resuming it
Permissions confirmed
- Screen & System Audio Recording: Terminal ✅, node ✅, Claude ✅
- Accessibility: granted
Proof: ScreenCaptureKit works on Tahoe
Compiled and ran this Swift test — works perfectly, captures 1680x1050:
import ScreenCaptureKit, AppKit
@main struct App {
static func main() async {
let content = try! await SCShareableContent.excludingDesktopWindows(false, onScreenWindowsOnly: true)
let display = content.displays.first!
let filter = SCContentFilter(display: display, excludingWindows: [])
let config = SCStreamConfiguration()
config.width = display.width; config.height = display.height
let image = try! await SCScreenshotManager.captureImage(contentFilter: filter, configuration: config)
print("✅ Works! \(image.width)x\(image.height)")
}
}
Conclusion
The ScreenCaptureKit API works fine on Tahoe. The bug is in computer_use.node — likely the withCheckedContinuation callback not being called on Tahoe, causing the continuation leak.
Other computer-use tools (request_access, open_application) work correctly. Only screenshot is affected.
