Research direction

Start by reproducing the Filesystem tool call with Claude Desktop 1.24012.1 and inspect the POST to the tool_result endpoint using request ID req_011CdG5CtZqaXRHAgjaShMu1. Compare the local tool completion with the 404 side_channel_waiting_key_absent response; done means the result POST succeeds or the responsible component and required fix are identified.
