What's Wrong?

Description

After updating to v2.1.109, the Claude Code desktop app on macOS can no
longer
connect to a remote Linux server via SSH. The same configuration worked
fine
before the update.

## Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Claude Code desktop app on macOS
  2. Select existing SSH connection (root@<server-ip>)
  3. Attempt to connect
  4. Connection fails with no detailed error message

## Expected Behavior
Connection works as it did before the update to 2.1.109.

## Environment

  • Claude Code Desktop: v2.1.109
  • macOS (client)
  • Server: Ubuntu 24.04 aarch64
  • Claude Code on server: v2.1.109
  • SSH key authentication: working (verified via terminal)

## Additional Notes

  • SSH connection via terminal works without issues
  • Same configuration worked with the previous version
  • No helpful error details shown in the app on failure

What Should Happen?

The SSH connection to the remote server should work as it did before the
update to v2.1.109. The desktop app should successfully connect and
start a Claude Code session on the remote server.
