What's Wrong?

Wehn I try to paste to claude it freezes on every one of my sessions, whether I open a new window or try to paste to old window still open. This happened after plaude trying to open a file that is evidently too large. Iwas forced to press ESC a few times and then this error appeared. Now my full claude is jammed, opening a new session and pasting brings the same jam.
-----------------
The text I originally tried to paste is:
⏺ Bash(which playwright 2>/dev/null || npx playwright --version 2>/dev/null || echo "not
found")
⎿  playwright not found
Version 1.58.2
⏺ Bash(npx playwright screenshot --full-page
"file:///Users/scripts/kafka-das-schloss.html"
/tmp/kafka-viewer-full.png 2>&1)
⎿  Navigating to file:///Users/scripts/kafka-das-schloss
.html
Capturing screenshot into /tmp/kafka-viewer-full.png
⏺ Read 1 file (ctrl+o to expand)
⏺ Request too large (max 20MB). Double press esc to go back and try with a smaller file.

What Should Happen?

The pasted text should be consumed by claude
