What's Wrong?
On Windows 11 ARM64, the Claude Code VS Code extension consistently crashes after ~82 seconds with a Bun runtime panic:
panic: incorrect alignment
This happens reliably during extension runtime (not a one-off). It appears to be a Bun crash that takes down the extension process.
What Should Happen?
Claude Code extension should remain running and usable; no runtime panic.
