aaddrick/claude-desktop-debian v2.0.8+claude1.5354.0 on GitHub

Fixed

Cowork starts again on Claude Desktop 1.5354.0. Upstream's minifier started emitting identifiers with $ in them (C$i, g$i), and two of our regex anchors in scripts/patches/cowork.sh used \w+, which doesn't match $. Patch 2b silently no-op'd, the Swift VM module assignment never landed, and you'd hit Swift VM addon not available at session init. PR #555 widens both anchors to [\w$]+, matching the precedent @Joost-Maker set in #421 for the earlier $e rename. Patch 6 also moves from indexOf to lastIndexOf on the retry-delay anchor as a defensive cleanup. Thanks @sirfaber for the fix, @HumboldtJoker for the diagnostic that pinned it to Patch 2b vs 2a, and @zabka for the earlier writeup and systemd-unit workaround that made the daemon-never-spawned mechanism legible. (#555, fixes #558, likely fixes #553 and #445)
