Tips for getting started:
1. Ask Claude to create a new app or clone a repository
2. Use Claude to help with file analysis, editing, bash commands and git
3. Be as specific as you would with another engineer for the best results
4. ✔ Run /terminal-setup to set up terminal integration

@C4T4 No i am not seeing any error messages on the screen, Were you able to find the logs for claude code, or are you seeing such messaging in your console?
@rboyce-ant Hi, the symptoms are different than the "Duplicate" bug that you closed. With this issue it doesn't hang or freeze, it crashes.
@nickolay-kondratyev thanks for clarifying! can you share the console output when launching with claude --debug
Welcome!
Here is the console output running with debug, not much more data
m:mac d:vintrin-env b:master DIRTY❯claude --debug

m:mac d:vintrin-env b:master DIRTY❯claude --version
1.0.11 (Claude Code)
Let me know if there is anything else I can run.
What appears to work: tmux
Workaround that appears to work: Run claude within a tmux session. Running under tmux allows claude code to start working again.
What did NOT work
- Tried with stripped .bashrc environment: (seemed to have worked once, and then started to crash reliably)
- Tried on different MAC, in iTerm2: crash/exit without any console output.
- Tried on in MacTerminal: same issue
- Updated OS to 15.5: same issue
The current version is 1.0.17, can you try updating? Does this happen in one specific project, or in any directory you launch in?
@rboyce-ant it was happening in all projects.
1.0.17 (Claude Code)
Does NOT appear to have this issue anymore. Appears to be resolved
This seems to be happening again. In tmux session it does work a little better, but not fully working either (messed up formatting, scrolling). Otherwise it crashes instantly (not able to even input anything), or shortly after running some command.
