BLE Workflow using Chrome pairs but doesn't respond

[grgrant]

CircuitPython version and board name

Adafruit CircuitPython 10.0.3 on 2025-10-17; Adafruit QT Py ESP32-S3 no psram with ESP32S3

Code/REPL

# Running hello world but this is not a code issue but a BLE Workflow issue.

Behavior

BLE Workflow does not seem to accept any input or respond to the Chrome Browser. It does output REPL but no input is seen. Neither can the Open button dialog populate the files on the drive. It does print program output (e.g. Hello World) in the Serial window.

Output on serial window:

Requesting device. Cancel if empty and try existing

Attempting to connect to CIRCUITPY0e3d92...

Connected to CIRCUITPY0e3d92

Sometimes the Connected to CIRCUITPY is repeated a bunch of times without more Attempting to connect.

Description

Configuration:

• CIRCUITPY_BLE_WORKFLOW = 1 in settings.toml
• Pressed the boot button when the blue light flashed
• I am able to Pair using Chrome on a Mac Pro Laptop OSX 26.2 but I can only see the REPL output on the serial.
• Clicking on the serial window and pressing Control-C, Control-D or typing have no effect.
• Clicking on Open brings up the dialog box but no file list ever populates.

I believe I have the correct setup but just to be sure I have storage.disable_usb_drive() set in boot.py and the usb cable is connected to a power supply and not my laptop. I do have web work enabled but the browser is not connected at this time.
