What's Wrong?

Claude Code 2.1.63 completely freezes on paste - MacOS latest release on Cursor 2.5.26, when I paste:
`Not fully. I agree with the intent, but I see a few issues in README.md:

  1. [MEDIUM] “Script Inventory” is misleadingly incomplete

The table lists 2 scripts, but the directory contains many more. If this is meant as “all scripts,” it’s incorrect and can mislead
operators.
Evidence: README.md:74

  1. [LOW] The “hangs silently” explanation is overstated/inaccurate

Missing PYTHONPATH can definitely break imports, but claiming it causes asyncio to “hang silently” is too absolute and not generally
true.
Evidence: README.md:41

  1. [LOW] Prod command pattern can leak secrets in shell history

Inline DATABASE_URL_ASYNC="...<password>..." is operationally risky unless users are explicitly told to use a safer secret-injection
method.
Evidence: README.md:23

What I do agree with:

  • docker exec -w /app -e PYTHONPATH=/app ... is a solid execution pattern for these scripts.
  • Keeping these scripts outside startup/Alembic is appropriate for one-off ops.`

What Should Happen?

Claude Code shouldn't freeze when pasting this into the terminal. It allows paste without the 1st word or the last word but if I send the whole thing it locks up the terminal.

Error Messages/Logs

No errors, completely freezes.

Steps to Reproduce

Paste the entire snippet and see if it freezes. For me, it doesn't freeze when I remove the 1st word or the last word but it does with the whole thing.

Claude Model

None

Is this a regression?

I don't know
