What's Wrong?

Although I am aware that such a bug has been occurring since previous versions, this one seems specific to v.2.1.27. Claude Code extension randomly starts to exponentially grow in memory eventually bricking my device completely. The issue seems specific to the last version because downgrading to v.2.1.25 seems to fix the issue.
