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."

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Install Claude Code v2.1.29 on Windows 11
  2. Install the Claude in Chrome extension
  3. Restart Chrome
  4. Attempt to use any claude-in-chrome MCP tool — extension reports "not connected"
