What's Wrong?
What's Wrong (description):
The Claude in Chrome extension cannot connect to Claude Code on Windows. The native messaging host process crashes immediately on spawn due to a Bun runtime internal assertion failure.
What Should Happen?
Expected behavior: The Chrome extension should connect to the Claude Code native host successfully.
Actual behavior: The native host crashes immediately due to a Bun runtime bug, preventing any browser automation.
Error Messages/Logs
**Error:** The native host binary crashes with a Bun assertion failure before any connection can be established. Chrome reports the extension is "not connected."
