[BUG] React error #185 crash when cycling permissions with Shift+Tab

Description

Claude Code CLI crashes with React error #185 (Maximum update depth exceeded) when cycling through options in the "bypass permissions" dialog using Shift+Tab.

Version

• Claude Code: 2.1.2
• Platform: Linux 6.14.0-37-generic
• Installation: Local (/home/jan/.claude/local/node_modules/@anthropic-ai/claude-code/)

Steps to Reproduce

1. Launch Claude Code CLI (session starts normally)
2. Trigger the permissions prompt that shows "bypass permissions on (shift+tab to cycle)"
3. Press Shift+Tab to cycle through permission options
4. CLI crashes immediately with React error #185

Expected Behavior

Shift+Tab should cycle through the permission options (e.g., "bypass permissions" → "ask for permissions" → etc.) without crashing.

Actual Behavior

The CLI terminates immediately with a React infinite render loop error, losing the entire session.

Root Cause Analysis

React error #185 indicates "Maximum update depth exceeded" - the TUI's input handler (onInput/wrappedOnInput) is triggering a state update that causes a re-render, which triggers another state update, creating an infinite loop.

The stack trace shows the crash originates in the input handling pipeline while processing the Shift+Tab keypress in the permissions dialog component.

Workaround

Avoid using Shift+Tab in permission dialogs. Instead:

• Use arrow keys + Enter to select options
• Or launch with --dangerously-skip-permissions flag to bypass the dialog entirely

Related Issues

This appears to be the same underlying bug as:

• #13921 - Generic React error #185
• #16452 - Crash when invoking skills with long arguments
• #15307 - Crash during voice dictation (continuous input)
• #15751 - Crash with rapid character input via xdotool
• #15781 - Typing too fast crashes CLI

All share the same React error #185 in the TUI's input handling system.

Additional Context

• Terminal: Predator (assuming custom terminal or shell setup)
• This is a critical UX bug - the crash is triggered by a UI hint that explicitly tells users to use Shift+Tab
• The minified React code makes debugging impossible without access to the source-mapped/unminified build

Suggested Fix

The TUI's input handler needs debouncing/throttling or proper state batching to prevent infinite render loops when processing rapid/repeated input events.
