What's Wrong?

I can still use Code in CLI and was able to troubleshoot the following:

1. The exact error: Failed to create bridge sockets after 5 attempts
2. It persists across fresh VMs, session data resets, and app restarts
3. It started after a heavy session (9 parallel agents, 101 files)
4. Claude Code version: 2.1.111, Claude Desktop version: 1.3036.0

What Should Happen?

Should work
