What's Wrong?

Error: write EPIPE
at WriteWrap.onWriteComplete [as oncomplete] (node:internal/stream_base_commons:87:19)
at WriteWrap.callbackTrampoline (node:internal/async_hooks:130:17) {
errno: -32,
code: 'EPIPE',
syscall: 'write'
}

Mac OS. Bash terminal (built-in terminal). Have updated to Claude Code v2.1.2 - note also that version v2.0 had this issue also. Note in addition that as I file this bug report in Claude Code, I cannot see my cursor - maybe provides a clue? I'm using node version v22.14.0 and npm 10.9.2. The crashes occur both when Claude is working, and sometimes when Claude is just sitting idle.

(Tried to submit through claude code terminal itself, got the error: Could not submit feedback. Please try again later.)

What Should Happen?

Should not crash. Try catch should be used with error recovery.

Use claude code on my laptop to do anything at all, or even nothing at all. It will likely crash within 5 to 10 minutes.
