Not logged in · Please run /login

Having problems running Cowork in local folder. Some images:

Using xUbuntu 22.04. Latest Claude version installed. I'm also having problems described in #378. Not sure what else to do. Cannot find a similar issue here.

The error you're seeing ("Not logged in · Please run /login") is the Claude Code CLI's standard auth prompt. It shows up when the CLI can't find a valid session. The question is whether you've actually tried running /login inside the Cowork terminal itself — auth from the main app doesn't automatically carry over to the embedded CLI session.

A few things that would help narrow this down:

1. Did you run /login inside the Cowork terminal? If so, what happened next — did it ask for an API key, attempt browser OAuth, or error out?
2. Are you on the .deb package or the AppImage build?
3. What do the screenshots show exactly — is the error inside the Cowork terminal, or does it appear on the launch screen before a session starts?
4. If you got past the /login prompt, did it succeed or fail with a follow-up error?

This might be related to #156 (401 auth errors), though that issue was about API key problems rather than the initial login flow. If authentication should be inherited from the main session automatically, that's a bug worth patching on our end.

I have installed Claude Code recently, and have used it with my pro account and through API. But the problem is with Claude Desktop. /login does not work in the app.
