What's Wrong?

Account: [jdeely@missioncity.com](mailto:jdeely@missioncity.com)
Organization: Mission City Software (Team plan, Primary owner)
Device: MacBook Air, Apple Silicon (arm64), macOS
Claude Desktop version: 1.1.1348.0
Claude Code binary version: 2.1.92
ISSUE: Claude Desktop Code tab has been completely non-functional for approximately 5 weeks. The Code tab UI loads but never responds. Every session attempt fails immediately.
LOG ERROR (every single attempt):
Claude Code process exited with code 1
unhealthy cycle (0s, hadFirstResponse=false, reason=no_response)
WHAT HAS BEEN RULED OUT after weeks of diagnosis:

Binary works perfectly when invoked manually from Terminal
Binary is fully initialized and authenticated (shows "Welcome back Joe, Mission City Software, Claude Team")
OAuth token lookup succeeds every time — auth is not the issue
CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS env var — removed from all shell configs and snapshots
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY env var — not set
Corrupted install — full nuclear wipe of all Claude data performed multiple times
Account issue — other Mission City Software team members work fine
Multiple accounts tested — both Google and non-Google accounts fail identically after first login

PATTERN: Works on very first login after a full wipe, breaks permanently on any subsequent session restart. This is a Desktop session restart bug.
SECONDARY ERRORS in unknown-window.log:
["account_profile"] data is undefined
Access to fetch at 'https://a-cdn.claude.ai/params/sri/EEA5F558...' blocked by CORS policy
SUPPORT HISTORY: 20+ support tickets submitted since March 2026. No human response received. BBB complaint filed. Refund refused.
REQUEST: Engineering investigation of how Desktop spawns the Claude Code binary on session restart. The binary is healthy — the issue is in Desktop's invocation pipeline.
