What's Wrong?

I can still use Code in CLI and was able to troubleshoot the following:

  1. The exact error: Failed to create bridge sockets after 5 attempts
  2. It persists across fresh VMs, session data resets, and app restarts
  3. It started after a heavy session (9 parallel agents, 101 files)
  4. Claude Code version: 2.1.111, Claude Desktop version: 1.3036.0

What Should Happen?

Should work

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue is likely related to resource exhaustion after a heavy session, and reducing parallel agents or files might mitigate the "Failed to create bridge sockets" error.

Guidance

  • Review the system resources (e.g., memory, file descriptors) after a heavy session to identify potential bottlenecks.
  • Try reducing the number of parallel agents or files to see if it resolves the issue.
  • Investigate if there are any configuration options or environment variables that can be adjusted to increase the limit on bridge sockets.
  • Consider testing with a smaller workload to isolate if the issue is specific to the scale of the session.

Example

No specific code snippet can be provided without more context, but a potential next step could involve modifying the command or configuration used to run the heavy session.

Notes

The exact cause of the issue is unclear, but it seems to be related to the scale of the session. Further investigation into system resources and configuration options is needed.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Reduce the number of parallel agents or files in the session to mitigate the error, as the issue seems to be related to resource exhaustion after a heavy session.
