What's Wrong?
Latest version of claude code with oppus 4.6 start thinking and never goes to coding phase. This happened a couple of times already since yesterday. It goes to the point of thinking for 20min and never coding and then claude code freezes and I have to kill the process . Switching to Sonnet makes it work fine
What Should Happen?
It should properly execute the tasks like in previous claude code versions with oppus 4.5
