What's Wrong?

Description

The artifact preview panel (right side of the screen) does not appear when Claude generates code or HTML artifacts in Claude Desktop on macOS. However, the same artifacts render correctly in claude.ai (web version).

Environment

• OS: macOS
• Mac Model: MacBook Pro M1 Pro
• Claude Desktop Version: [escribe aquí la versión que veas en Acerca de Claude]
• Works in Web: Yes (claude.ai)
• Works in Desktop: No

What Should Happen?

Expected Behavior

The artifact preview panel should appear on the right side showing the rendered HTML/code in real-time.

Error Messages/Logs

## Actual Behavior
The right-side panel remains empty. Claude must be asked to present/download the file instead of showing the preview.

Steps to Reproduce

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open Claude Desktop on macOS M1 Pro
2. Ask Claude to create an HTML artifact (e.g., "Create a simple HTML page with 'Hello World'")
3. Claude generates the artifact and shows in chat
4. The right-side preview panel does NOT appear
5. Same request in claude.ai shows the preview panel correctly
