Environment
- Platform: Windows
- Claude Code: CLI (npm installed)
- Possible trigger: Two Claude Code sessions running in the same project directory
Reproduction
- Open Claude Code session in a project directory
- Open a second Claude Code session in the same directory
- Work normally in one session while the other is idle
- Stack overflow occurs in the idle session
Error Output
RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded
Exception in PromiseRejectCallback:
file:///C:/Users/scott/AppData/Roaming/npm/node_modules/@anthropic-ai/claude-code/cli.js:3437
(Full minified stack trace available - occurs in tool execution/message processing pipeline)
Frequency
Occurred twice in a single session while Claude Code was waiting for user input.
Notes
- No specific user action triggered the error
- Session was idle at time of crash
- Correlation with concurrent sessions is suspected but not confirmed
