TL;DR

The issue might be resolved by investigating the compatibility of the current Claude Code version with the Mac environment, specifically with the Cowork feature.

Guidance

  • Verify that the Cowork feature works as expected in other environments, such as Windows or Linux, to isolate the issue to the Mac platform.
  • Check the release notes of previous versions to identify any changes that might have introduced the regression, focusing on Mac-specific updates.
  • Test an earlier version of Claude Code, if possible, to confirm that the issue is indeed a regression and to identify the version where the issue started.
  • Consider reaching out to the development team or community for further assistance, providing detailed steps to reproduce the issue and any additional information that might be relevant.

Notes

The lack of information about the last working version and additional details limits the ability to provide a more specific fix. The issue seems to be Mac-specific and related to the Cowork feature.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Given the regression nature of the issue and the lack of a clear fix, applying a workaround, such as using the command line or an alternative feature, might be the best temporary solution until the issue is addressed by the development team.
