What's Wrong?

macOS 26.4.1
claude -p "hello" exits with code 0 but no output
claude auth login hangs indefinitely
Both ~/.local/bin/claude (native installer) and /opt/homebrew/bin/claude (npm) have the same behavior

The main issue is claude code does not work via the desktop app nor in vs code. It just hangs.
