Infinite API error loops forces claude code to restart and context loss

Platform (select one):

Claude CLI version: 1.0.24 (Claude Code)
Operating System: macOS 10.15.7 (Catalina)
Terminal: bash

Bug Description:
Claude Code gets stuck in infinite API error loops when validation errors occur, preventing recovery and requiring CLI restart with complete context loss.

Steps to Reproduce:
Trigger an API validation error (upload image >5MB or create orphaned tool_use block)
Observe the same API 400 error repeating infinitely
Try typing new commands - they are ignored or trigger the same error

Must exit and restart Claude Code

Expected Behavior:
Display clear error message explaining the validation issue
Provide recovery options or gracefully return to prompt
Allow user to continue session after addressing the error

Actual Behavior:
Same API 400 error repeats in infinite loop:

tool_use ids were found without tool_result blocks immediately after: toolu_01BrbQYKJyyV8f2fudUGdcGM
image exceeds 5 MB maximum: 8540840 bytes > 5242880 bytes

CLI becomes completely unresponsive to new input
Forces session termination and restart
All conversation context and history is lost

Additional Context:
This affects workflow continuity significantly since common validation errors (large images, interrupted tool execution) require full session restart. The error handling should detect validation failures and prevent infinite retry loops.
