[Bug] Anthropic API Error: Screenshot exceeds token limit, breaks session state

Bug Description

i was having claude work on an expo app using commands in a justfile to conrol the emulator. one command allowed claude to take screenshots. after taking a couple of screenshots, it seems one screenshot was too large for the anthropic api and has bugged out the session. now all messages i send are bricked.

the justfile command:

screenshot:
    #!/usr/bin/env bash
    mkdir -p /tmp/pay-me/screenshots
    name="screenshot_$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)_$RANDOM.png"
    path="/tmp/pay-me/screenshots/$name"
    adb exec-out screencap -p > "$path"
    echo "$path"
