What's Wrong?
When trying to start a new session via Claude Desktop (either Code or Cowork), immediately after 'Starting up' get error 'Claude Code process exited with code 132'.
Setup:
-macOS Sequoia, Intel (x86_64)

-Confirm exit code 132, VM healthy, binary dies on spawn
Tried all troubleshooting, including complete uninstall and re-install of Desktop app, still same issue.
