[BUG] In-app Browser pane crashes the Claude Code session

What's Wrong?

Opening or using the built-in Browser pane (the preview/browser panel
that appears on the right side of the Claude Code window, separate
from Chrome) reliably crashes my session.

What happened:

• Was mid-task with Claude driving the in-app Browser pane.
• Chrome crashed first.
• Shortly after, the Claude Code session itself crashed and lost

connection to my computer ("Can't reach your computer, it may be
asleep or offline").

• Had to reinstall Claude Code to recover; the crashed session never

reconnected.

Environment:

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

This is reproducible enough that I've had to stop using the in-app
Browser pane entirely and rely on the Claude in Chrome extension
instead as a workaround.

What Should Happen?

It should be fixed so it doesnt need a new install everytime its fixed
