Preflight Checklist

  • [x] I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
  • [x] This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
  • [x] I am using the latest version of Claude Code

What's Wrong?

Environment:

  • OS: Windows 11 ARM64 (win11_dt)
  • Extension version: anthropic.claude-code-2.1.49-win32-arm64
  • Bun runtime (embedded): v1.3.10
  • CPU: ARM64 (neon fp aes crc32 atomics)

The Claude Code process crashes with a Bun runtime panic after ~85 seconds of operation, producing exit code 3. The crash message is:

panic(thread 22672): incorrect alignment

oh no: Bun has crashed. This indicates a bug in Bun, not your code.

What Should Happen?

Claude Code should run stably without crashing. The process should not panic due to memory alignment issues on Windows ARM64.

Long sessions get interrupted by crashes and force a restart
