What's Wrong?

Asked Claude Code to edit .claude/settings.json to add an env variable for agent teams. The file edit itself succeeded, but instead of a normal text response, Claude dumped thousands of lines of minified React reconciler/fiber source code (function names like Yb, Ze, BK, lH, RKT, etc.).

What Should Happen?

Expected: Normal text response confirming the edit
Actual: ~700+ lines of minified JavaScript (appears to be React reconciler internals)

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Asked Claude to add CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS env block to .claude/settings.json
  2. File was edited correctly
  3. Response output was minified internal UI framework code instead of confirmation
