[BUG] claude code hangs upon startup

Environment

• Platform (select one):
• [x] Anthropic API
• [ ] AWS Bedrock
• [ ] Google Vertex AI
• [ ] Other: <!-- specify -->
• Claude CLI version: 0.2.108. 0.2.109
• Operating System: macOS 15.3.2
• Terminal: iTerm2 (zsh), Terminal App (zsh)

Bug Description

Claude code hangs upon startup, does not output anything and can be killed only with kill -9 (does not react to any key presses)

Steps to Reproduce

1. Update claude code to version > 0.2.107 (e.g. to 0.2.108 or 0.2.109 --- the most recent version currently)
2. Run it: claude

Expected Behavior

Claude code works "as usual"

Actual Behavior

Nothing happens or printed to console, claude code gets completely stuck, fully hanging until killed with kill -9

Additional Context

I tried to cleanup .claude.json, also tried to remove all mcp config --- that doesn't help. Initial "wizard" does work, but as long as wizard is finished --- claude code hangs.
Reverting back to version 0.2.107 makes it work again.
