Hm, it’s working for me right now, on the same version of the app. Sorry James! Could you look at the console and pass along any errors you see there? You can open it with Cmd-Opt-I.

(Our app is built on [Tauri](https://v2.tauri.app/) so it uses the system browser, _i.e._ Safari here, so it has those dev tools.)

(We also broke Desktop [the other day](https://talk.observablehq.com/t/observable-desktop-ai-type-error/10831) but this seems different.)
