What's Wrong?

After upgrading from 2.0.53 to 2.0.55 claude doesn't start:

$ claude
 6 |     "use strict";
 7 | 
 8 |     //
 9 |     if (entry.instantiate)
10 |         return entry.instantiate;
11 |     var instantiatePromise = (async () => {
                                               ^
TypeError: Expected CommonJS module to have a function wrapper. If you weren't messing around with Bun's internals, this is a bug in Bun

Bun v1.3.2 (Linux x64 baseline)

Reverting to 2.0.53 works, but then it auto upgrades it self back to 2.0.55 so I need to downgrade befopre each time I need to start claude

seems to not have an issue on another Ubuntu I have (same version)

What Should Happen?

claude command should work
