Title: Sandbox failed to initialize on Linux with bwrap 0.11.0 (v2.1.98+)
Description:
All bash commands fail with "Sandbox failed to initialize" on v2.1.98 and v2.1.100 native installs on Linux. Even echo test fails.
Rolling back to v2.1.97 fixes it.
Environment:
- OS: Linux 6.12 (Debian 13, amd64)
- Install: native binary at ~/.local/share/claude/versions/
- bwrap: /usr/bin/bwrap 0.11.0
- kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone = 1
- CONFIG_SECCOMP=y, CONFIG_SECCOMP_FILTER=y
- No AppArmor denials for bwrap
Root cause: apply-seccomp helper not found anywhere in the native install directory. Present in v2.1.97, missing in v2.1.98+.
Workaround: ln -sf ~/.local/share/claude/versions/2.1.97 ~/.local/bin/claude
Environment Info
- Platform: linux
- Terminal: vscode
- Version: 2.1.97
- Feedback ID: e4ee42d0-22e9-4ad8-b893-9d0c388ab6f3
