TL;DR

The issue may be related to a corrupted or incompatible vm_bundle that rebuilds to 12GB on every launch, causing the Code tab to crash instantly.

Guidance

  • Try deleting the vm_bundle and claude-code-vm directories again, and then restart the app to see if the issue persists.
  • Check if there are any issues with the Anthropic API or the Claude Model configuration that could be causing the vm_bundle to rebuild incorrectly.
  • Since this is a regression, try to identify the last working version of Claude Code and compare its configuration or dependencies with the current version to find any potential differences.
  • Verify that the sessionId is being set correctly, as the log ends with sessionId=undefined, which could indicate an issue with the authentication or session management.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue does not contain enough information to create a specific example.

Notes

The issue lacks information about the last working version of Claude Code, which could be crucial in identifying the root cause of the problem. Additionally, the error logs are empty, which makes it harder to diagnose the issue.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Try deleting the vm_bundle and claude-code-vm directories and restart the app to see if the issue persists, as this has been reported to temporarily resolve the issue in the past.
