What's Wrong?

Environment:

  • Claude Code version: 2.1.19 (native install)
  • OS: Linux 6.17.9-76061709-generic
  • Platform: linux

Description:
Claude Code crashes during file read/edit operations. The application closes
unexpectedly without displaying any error message. This issue started after
upgrading from the npm-based version to the native Claude Code installation.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Install native Claude Code (replacing npm version)
  2. Start Claude Code in a project directory
  3. Use file read/edit operations during a conversation
  4. Crash occurs unpredictably during these operations

Expected behavior:
Claude Code should remain stable during file operations, matching the
stability of the previous npm-based version.

Actual behavior:
The application silently crashes with no error output or warning. This has
occurred twice since installing the native version.

Frequency:
2 crashes since switching to native installation. Did NOT experience this
issue with the previous npm-based version.

Additional context:

  • Regression from npm version behavior
  • No specific file or operation triggers it consistently
  • No error logs visible in terminal after crash

What Should Happen?

Continue and not hang
