Description
A yellow notification banner appears in the bottom-right corner of the desktop app:

"This page asked for microphone access, which is blocked in the Browser pane. Open the page in your default browser to use it."

The banner cannot be dismissed. Clicking the "X" closes it momentarily but it reappears immediately. Closing all Browser pane tabs and reopening the app does not clear it either — the state persists across app restarts.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open Claude Code desktop app
  2. Banner appears in bottom-right corner (no specific browser action seems required to trigger it — it was already present)
  3. Click the "X" to dismiss — banner reappears
  4. Close and reopen the app — banner is still present

Expected behavior
Dismissing the banner (clicking X) should permanently dismiss it, or it should not reappear after the app is restarted with no active Browser pane tabs.

Environment

  • OS: Windows 11 Home 10.0.26200
  • Claude Code desktop app

Additional context
No Browser pane tab was open/tracked via MCP tooling (tabs_context returned "No preview is open") at the time the banner was showing, suggesting the banner's dismiss state or trigger is not tied to actual open tabs.
