What's Wrong?

On the Windows desktop application: upon entering the Claude Code section, the whole application closes without any error messages. The application works as intended in Chat and Cowork, but just entering Code will cause the whole application to close itself. No coding is able to happen, just being in the coder causes the issue. The app is up to date, Github is up to date, cache has been cleared, the application has been uninstalled and reinstalled. Nothing alleviates the issue.

What Should Happen?

Claude Code should work. Claude Code should not crash the application.
