Bug Description
Claude Desktop CoWork does not work. Version Claude 1.3036.0 (cf521c) 2026-04-16T16:17:33.000Z. MacOS version 26.4.1 with Apple M3 Pro. Chat and Code works in desktop. This is only CoWork that doesn't work at all (new and past chats). All I get is instant "Claude Code process exited with code 1"
