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.

panic(thread XXXXX): incorrect alignment
oh no: Bun has crashed. This indicates a bug in Bun, not your code.

Additional Information

Notes / Context

  • This appears related to Bun's "incorrect alignment" panic seen in other Windows crash reports, but this repro is on Windows ARM64 and occurs inside the Claude Code VS Code extension runtime.
