What's Wrong?
[BUG] Claude Code desktop app not working. I've had it previously installed and used it fine. Today it bounces once in the dock then disappears. I removed and reinstalled a fresh version today, and it is still doing the same. I'm using macOS Tahoe 26.5.1 on a M1 MacBook Pro.
What Should Happen?
I just need the app to open on my computer.
