[BUG] Persistent "virtualization" banner in Claude Desktop Cowork when running under Parallels on Apple Silicon

What's Wrong?

When running Claude Desktop inside a Parallels VM on Apple Silicon (ARM), Cowork displays a persistent banner warning that virtualization is not supported / won't work. The banner cannot be dismissed and blocks normal use.

What Should Happen?

Either the banner should be dismissible, or Cowork should function correctly under Parallels on Apple Silicon (which supports ARM natively and does not require x86 emulation).
