Bad Substitution Error in Claude CLI String Manipulation
Bug Description
Claude crashed with the error below. This happened while Claude Code was trying to create a new Issue on GitHub. The bug was reported on a new Claude Code session as that one had crashed completely and brought me back to bash.
