What's Wrong?
i keep getting this error while using Claude Code in the desktop app on Windows. I have been getting this on multiple different systems. I then have to start a new instance. API Error: 400 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"invalid_request_error","message":"messages.5.content.8: thinking or redacted_thinking blocks in the latest assistant message cannot be modified. These blocks must remain as they were in the original response."},"request_id":"req_011CX5ZBMXQn6rAfqnAXCV91"}
What Should Happen?
Should work as advertised
