Same issue here. MacBook Pro 16" M4 Max, 64 GB, macOS Tahoe 26.3.1 (a), Claude Desktop v[your version]. Code tab completely unresponsive — no spinner, no error. Chat and Cowork modes work fine. Claude Code CLI works in Terminal. Tried force quit, clearing ~/Library/Application Support/Claude, and reinstalling. No plugin cache present.

I'm experiencing the same issue on macOS Apple Silicon. Code mode is unresponsive after sending a message — no loading indicator, no response. Chat and Cowork modes work fine. Claude Code binary works fine in Terminal. Tried clearing plugin cache, clearing app cache, updating to latest Desktop app version, and disabling MCP servers — issue persists.

I just updated the app to Version 1.1.8308 (2498e4) and was hoping this would fix but iam experiencing the same issue still.
