What's Wrong?
Claude Code crashes with a stack overflow error when using the WebFetch tool to fetch documentation.
## Notes
- #9157 is related
- The crash happens during tool execution, likely in response processing
- Stack trace shows crash in minified
cli.js:3362 - Terminal left in bad state (iTerm2 focus reporting warning appeared after crash)
What Should Happen?
## Expected Behavior
- WebFetch should retrieve the webpage content
- Claude should process the response and continue the conversation
- Session remains stable
## Actual Behavior
- Permission prompt appears, but after approval Claude crashes
- Terminal left in corrupted state
- Session terminated, conversation context lost
