After multiple messages, app shows 'starting claude code' with unresponsive stop button"

What Should Happen?

Anthropic's mobile team needs to fix. The environment manager should have proper timeout and error handling.

Steps to Reproduce

I'm a new user to the Android app but it happened in 2 of my 4 threads thus far. I'm not sure if it's repeatable with anything specific, just multiple messages to/from sonnet and it hangs.
The send arrow turns to processing square (which becomes unresponsive) and my last message disappears from the screen completely

Claude Model

Sonnet (default)

Is this a regression?

I don't know
