What's Wrong?

Claude Code got a bad update and does not start up in two directories at the same time. It starts, but then it is unresponsive in the second terminal. It works again in the second terminal, if the first session exits. This used to work.

What Should Happen?

It should start up and respond to prompts in multiple directories at the same time.
