Error Messages/Logs

TL;DR

The issue might be related to the Claude Code Desktop app's interaction with the Anthropic API or the Sonnet model, and checking the API connection or model configuration could help resolve the "Claude Code process exited with code 1" error.

Guidance

• Verify the Anthropic API connection by checking the claude auth status and ensuring that the Pro plan is active and correctly configured.
• Investigate the Sonnet model configuration, as it is set to the default model, and consider trying a different model to see if the issue persists.
• Review the environment selector settings, as two "Default" cloud environments are present, which might be causing conflicts.
• Check for any updates or known issues with the Claude Code version 2.1.119, as the issue is reported as a regression.

Example

No code snippet is provided, as the issue is related to a GUI app and API interaction.

Notes

The issue might be specific to the macOS platform or the Terminal.app, and further investigation is needed to determine the root cause.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by trying a different model or environment configuration to see if the issue persists, as the root cause is still unknown.
