[BUG] Computer use: per-app approval card renders Deny with no "Allow for this session" control (macOS desktop)
Preflight Checklist
- [x] I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
- [x] This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
- [x] I am using the latest version of Claude Code
What's Wrong?
The per-app computer-use approval card renders with only a Deny button.
The documented "Allow for this session" control is not present, so no app
can ever be granted.
Reproduced 5+ times across two unrelated apps: DaVinci Resolve and TextEdit.
Reproduced in both a cloud-linked session and a local session.
Ruled out:
- Computer use enabled in Settings > General > Desktop app
- macOS Accessibility and Screen Recording both granted to Claude (were
already on before this started)
- Max 20 plan, so the Pro/Max requirement is met
- No stale computer-use lock; every other Claude process quit, no ghost
Electron processes
- computer_list_granted_applications returns an empty allowlist every time
Working correctly: the general "turn on computer use" enablement prompt
renders and functions normally. Only the per-app grant card is missing its
allow control.
App version: 1.49585.0
macOS, Apple Silicon
What Should Happen?
id like it to be fixed so the approve button shows up again.
