What's Wrong?
The /feedback command constructs a GitHub issue URL with conversation/feedback data encoded in query parameters. When the conversation context is long, this URL exceeds browser/server URL length limits (typically ~2000-8000 characters depending on browser/server).
Environment:
- Claude Code version: (run claude --version)
- OS: macOS Darwin 25.2.0
- Browser: (your default browser)
What Should Happen?
Expected behavior:
Feedback should be submitted successfully regardless of conversation length.
Suggested fix:
Instead of encoding feedback in URL query parameters, consider:
- Using a POST request to a feedback endpoint that then creates the GitHub issue
- Opening a blank issue template and copying feedback to clipboard for the user to paste
- Truncating the context to fit within URL limits with a note that full context was truncated
Error Messages/Logs
Github server responded with "oops url too long" or something similar.
Steps to Reproduce
