Fixed
- Closing the window no longer kills the app on Linux. The X button hides to tray now, matching Windows and macOS. Quit explicitly with Ctrl+Q, the tray menu, or your DE's quit shortcut. Set
CLAUDE_QUIT_ON_CLOSE=1to restore the old behavior. Fixes scheduled tasks and/schedulefirings getting silently dropped overnight. Thanks @lizthegrey. (#451) - "Run on startup" toggle persists on Linux now. The in-app toggle was a silent no-op because Electron's
setLoginItemSettingsisn't implemented on Linux. The wrapper backs it with~/.config/autostart/claude-desktop.desktopper the XDG Autostart spec. Thanks @lizthegrey. (#450, fixes #128) - Tray icon updates in place on OS theme change. Previously it briefly duplicated on KDE Plasma. Now uses
setImage+setContextMenuinstead of destroy + recreate. Thanks @IliyaBrook. (#515) - Window visibility check works again after an upstream minified-name change broke it. Thanks @Andrej730. (#496, fixes #495)
Added
- Cowork bwrap mounts accept a
{src, dst}form. You can map a host directory under$HOMEonto a different path inside the sandbox. This unlocks the persistent-/tmpuse case so Bash tool calls don't wipe state between invocations. The string form is unchanged. Thanks @cbonnissent. (#531) --doctorwarns whenCOWORK_VM_BACKENDis set to an unknown value instead of silently falling through to auto-detect. Adds aCOWORK_VM_BACKENDrow and a new Cowork Backend section todocs/CONFIGURATION.md. Thanks @CyPack. (#324)--doctorwarns when an additional bwrap mount destination shadows a default sandbox path like/usr,/etc,/bin,/sbin, or/lib. (#531)- Troubleshooting entries for Cowork VM connection timeout, virtiofsd outside
$PATHon Fedora/RHEL (/usr/libexec/virtiofsd), and Fedora tmpfsEXDEVerrors. (#324)
Distribution
- APT/DNF install instructions point at
pkg.claude-desktop-debian.devdirectly, bypassing the GitHub Pages 301. Pages serves the redirect overhttp://because it can't provision a cert for thepkg.subdomain (DNS belongs to the Cloudflare Worker), andaptrefuses HTTPS→HTTP downgrades. DNF was unaffected. (#510, #514)
