Thanks for reporting. This was a feature-flag delivery issue — claude agents was gated on a GrowthBook flag whose cache could be stale or unreachable depending on platform/network. We've removed the gate entirely; claude agents now opens the dashboard unconditionally (including on Bedrock/Vertex/Foundry).

Ships in v2.1.141 (tomorrow).
