What's Wrong?

VM boots successfully but hangs at the internal connection step, times out after 60 seconds, and retries in an endless loop. GitHub That loop is what freezes the whole app. The Cowork VM deadlocks the main thread, making the entire app unusable — including regular chat

What Should Happen?

APP SHOULD SUCCESSFULLY LOAD, INSTEAD IT'S HUNG EVEN AFTER CLEARING CACHE AND REBOOT
