What's Wrong?

In the fully updated version of the Claude Windows Desktop App, in which Chat and Cowork are working perfectly fine, the Claude Code section is crashing and closing the application. I've updated my Github desktop application, and spoken with the help section bot at length about the issue. I do not see any reason for the crash in the event logs. It's simple: I open the app (even after restarting, logging out, etc) and direct the application to the coding section. Within about 10-15 seconds of just being inside the Code section, the app closes. If I move fast, I am able to enter text into the prompt space, but it doesn't matter what I'm doing, or not doing, in the coder. It appears it's just a matter of time until the program crashes.

What Should Happen?

I've been using this for a couple of months straight now, and in every other instance of Claude Code, like the web app, or on my phone, it works perfectly! What should happen is that I tell Claude Code what I want to happen, and he does it. That's all. The feature in the desktop app is unusable now. Literally.
