Bug Report

Summary

Cowork sessions crash immediately on every attempt after the SDK auto-updated from 2.1.92 → 2.1.111 today. Was working fine this morning on 2.1.92.

Error

Error: Failed to create bridge sockets after 5 attempts
Process exited, code=1, signal=null, duration=~820ms, oom=false

Timeline (from logs)

  • Before 1pm today (2026-04-16): Sessions running normally on SDK 2.1.92
  • ~1pm today: SDK auto-updated to 2.1.111
  • Immediately after: Every single Cowork session fails within ~820ms with bridge socket error
  • No sessions have succeeded since the update

Environment

  • Claude Desktop: 1.569.0
  • SDK before update: 2.1.92 (working)
  • SDK after update: 2.1.111 (broken)

Log evidence

2026-04-16 09:12:50 [info] [postConnect] Installing SDK: version=2.1.92   ← working
2026-04-16 13:06:24 [info] [postConnect] Installing SDK: version=2.1.111  ← update happens
2026-04-16 13:12:50 [warn] [vm-stderr] Error: Failed to create bridge sockets after 5 attempts  ← immediate failure

Every spawn attempt since 2.1.111 installed has failed with the same error. Rollback to 2.1.92 needed urgently.
