bug: neovim freezes when avante is enabled
Describe the bug
I'm using lazyvim with some additional plugins. When enabling Avante, the whole nvim is freezing and I have to kill process.
To reproduce
Add Avante to config and launch Neovim
Expected behavior
It shouldn't freeze the editor
Installation method
Use lazy.nvim:

Ok, it's connected with the Docker engine. When Docker is in a bad state, Avante waits for it while locking the nvim UI.
I also have this happen occasionally. It's not clear what causes it but neovim becomes fully locked.
This is also happening to me. Thought I was going crazy.
Definitely happens after i ask a question in the avante chat. But it's not consistent. Not certain what's going on.
I attached gdb after it happened, gdb (which nvim) and did a backtrace
GDB backtrace output

This might be related to Docker. Have you enabled the RAG service?
thanks for the response! i do not have the RAG/docker stuff enabled. this is my config:
{
"yetone/avante.nvim",
event = "VeryLazy",
lazy = false,
version = false, -- Set this to "*" to always pull the latest release version, or set it to false to update to the latest code changes.
opts = {
-- add any opts here
mappings = {
ask = "<leader>va",
edit = "<leader>ve",
refresh = "<leader>vr",
focus = "<leader>vf",
toggle = {
default = "<leader>vt",
debug = "<leader>vd",
hint = "<leader>vh",
suggestion = "<leader>vs",
repomap = "<leader>vR",
},
files = {
add_current = "<leader>vc",
},
},
},
-- if you want to build from source then do `make BUILD_FROM_SOURCE=true`
build = "make",
dependencies = {
"stevearc/dressing.nvim",
"nvim-lua/plenary.nvim",
"MunifTanjim/nui.nvim",
--- The below dependencies are optional,
"nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim", -- for file_selector provider telescope
"hrsh7th/nvim-cmp", -- autocompletion for avante commands and mentions
"nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons", -- or echasnovski/mini.icons
},
},
I did notice I wasn't on the most recent release of avante, and #1601 indicates some fixes, so I've updated and I'll update if I see the problem again with this newer version.
I also do not use RAG, and am on commit 540cc53. Anecdotally I do not see the freezes occur when using OpenAI + gpt-4o, only when using Claude + claude-3-7-sonnet-20250219. It only freezes during completion, and generally only in the middle of a code block.
My config is essentially the recommended one:

-- timeout = 30000, -- timeout in milliseconds
-- temperature = 0, -- adjust if needed
-- max_tokens = 4096,
-- -- reasoning_effort = "high" -- only supported for reasoning models (o1, etc.)
