Bug Description None of those apply to your situation:

  • One claude binary — no conflicts
  • Directories writable — no permission issue
  • No ANTHROPIC_API_KEY — no interference
  • api.anthropic.com reachable — no network issue

That was generic troubleshooting advice. Your problem is specific: the desktop app's bundled binary (v2.1.111) fails to initialize fresh local sessions. Old resumed sessions work fine.

Environment Info

  • Platform: darwin
  • Terminal: Apple_Terminal
  • Version: 2.1.116
  • Feedback ID: 4995e888-1f5e-4c51-bf7d-005fd11b23ca

TL;DR

The issue might be resolved by updating the desktop app's bundled binary to a version compatible with the current environment, as the current version (v2.1.111) fails to initialize fresh local sessions.

Guidance

  • The problem seems to be specific to the desktop app's bundled binary version (v2.1.111) and its interaction with the current environment (darwin platform, Apple Terminal, Version 2.1.116), suggesting a potential version compatibility issue.
  • Since old resumed sessions work fine, it might be helpful to compare the initialization processes between new and resumed sessions to identify any differences that could point to the root cause.
  • Given the lack of error messages in the Errors section, enabling more verbose logging or debugging in the application might provide additional insights into why the binary fails to initialize fresh sessions.
  • Checking for any updates or patches for the desktop app that might address compatibility issues with the current environment could be a prudent step.

Notes

The solution is speculative due to the lack of explicit error messages or detailed technical information about the application's behavior. Further diagnosis might be necessary to pinpoint the exact cause.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Given the information provided, there's no clear indication of a fixed version that resolves the issue, so focusing on troubleshooting or finding a workaround for the current version might be the most practical approach.
