Summary
- Addresses the primary issue: Claude.app (Cowork) and Claude Code CLI use competing native messaging hosts with incompatible socket formats; fix by disabling one config and restarting both Chrome and Claude Code
- Provides quick diagnosis commands to identify which native host is running, locate socket files, and verify active configurations
- Includes a toggle script to switch between Claude.app and Claude Code without manual file moves
- Covers secondary causes: multiple Chrome profiles, hardcoded version wrappers, multiple Claude Code sessions, and unset TMPDIR environment variable
- macOS-specific; uses paths like ~/Library/Application Support/ and tools like osascript
