Issues chatting with Claude via Claudia, issue starting the claude sidecar.

[martinffx]

I checked out and built this project but could not get the chat with Claude working.

When I ran in dev mode: bun run tauri dev I saw a sidecar issus

❯ bun run tauri dev
$ tauri dev
     Running BeforeDevCommand (`bun run dev`)
$ vite

Debugging with Claude led me to:

$ cd ./src-tauri/binaries/
$ ln -s claude-code-aarch64-apple-darwin claude-code
$ cd ../..
$ ls -la ./src-tauri/binaries/
lrwxr-xr-x    - martinrichards  5 Jul 12:03  claude-code -> claude-code-aarch64-apple-darwin
.rwxrwxrwx 226M martinrichards  4 Jul 20:37  claude-code-aarch64-apple-darwin

And adding externalBin to src-tauri/tauri.conf.json

  "bundle": {
    "active": true,
    "targets": "all",
    "icon": [
      "icons/32x32.png",
      "icons/128x128.png",
      "icons/128x128@2x.png",
      "icons/icon.icns",
      "icons/icon.png"
    ],
    "externalBin": ["binaries/claude-code"]
  }

This resolved my issue, don't know if it is the right fix but it's working for me
