claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Cowork bridge registration stuck in 409 loop — ghost environment can't be cleared [2 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

Fully quitting Claude Desktop, clearing persisted local Cowork bridge/session state, and relaunching the app may resolve the bridge registration conflict loop.

Guidance

• The issue seems to be related to stale environment or bridge recovery, so ensuring a clean state before relaunching the app is crucial.
• To mitigate similar issues in the future, consider implementing a mechanism to automatically clear persisted local state when the app is fully quit.
• Verify that the issue is resolved by checking for repeated Cowork bridge registration failures after relaunching the app.
• If the issue persists, try to reproduce it in a controlled environment to gather more information about the cause.

Notes

The provided solution worked locally, but the issue may still exist in other environments, and further investigation is needed to determine the root cause.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Fully quit Claude Desktop, clear persisted local Cowork bridge/session state, and relaunch the app, as this approach has been shown to resolve the issue locally.
