[Bug] Sandbox mode causes 200+ second delay on bash command results
Bug Description
Sandbox mode causes 200+ second delay on all bash commands despite instant execution
Environment:
- Claude Code v2.0.31
- macOS (Darwin 25.0.0)
- Bash: /opt/homebrew/bin/bash
- Default shell: /opt/homebrew/bin/fish
Issue:
When sandbox mode is enabled, every bash command takes 20+ seconds to return results in the UI, despite the commands themselves executing in milliseconds.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Enable sandbox mode: /sandbox
- Run any bash command, e.g., ls -lh, echo "test", pwd
- Observe 20+ second delay before results appear in UI
Expected Behavior:
Results should appear within milliseconds after command execution completes.
Actual Behavior:
- Command execution: ~5-6ms (confirmed by time output)
- Time until results visible in UI: 20+ seconds
- Affects ALL bash commands regardless of complexity or directory
- Affects commands in directories with/without .sdkmanrc or other configuration files
Verification:
With sandbox disabled (/sandbox disable), the same commands return instantly (~6ms total).
Impact:
Makes the Bash tool completely unusable when sandbox is enabled.

Here is a 60 seconds long gif showcasing I cannot stop the long running thing and that it takes over a minute.
