What's Wrong?
During an extended working session building a React/Vite PWA, the Dispatch session was visible in my Claude Code desktop UI as expected. At some point mid-session, it disappeared entirely from the interface — no crash, no error message. The session itself remained functional (I was still able to send and receive messages through it), but I lost all visibility into it from the Mac desktop UI.
Because the session was no longer visible, I had no way to use the thumbs-down feedback button to report the issue through the normal in-app channel, which is why I'm writing here instead.
Environment:
- Claude Code (beta)
- macOS Monterey 12.7 (latest Monterey release)
- Session type: Dispatch (Code beta feature)
- The session had been running for an extended period with many spawned sub-agent code sessions
Expected behavior: The Dispatch session should remain visible in the desktop UI for the duration of the session.
Actual behavior: The session disappeared from the UI silently, with no way to recover the view or submit in-app feedback.
What Should Happen?
Expected behavior: The Dispatch session should remain visible in the desktop UI for the duration of the session.
