What's Wrong?
In some sessions Claude Desktop Code silently ignores user prompts after previousle transfer from claude in terminal via /desktop
Fix: granting Full Disk Access for claude in System Settings/Privacy... resolves it.
macOS: 26.3.1
What Should Happen?
- Error message like "Cannot access working directory/specific file. Grant Full Disk Access to Claude in System Settings."
- Unit test scenarios detecting such permission issues
Error Messages/Logs
No single error/indicator that's something is wrong under the hood.
Steps to Reproduce
- Start
claudein iTerm2 (which has FDA) from ~/Documents/... - Work on files (rename, etc) by prompting claude
/desktopto transfer session to Claude Desktop (no FDA)- All prompts produce zero output — no error, no thinking indicator

Is this a regression?
