What's Wrong?

after numerous debugging sessions on a large codebase, and several compactions of the context, claude did not function correctly. re-evaluating the codebase after the session was lost took over 1 hour before I gave up on receiving a response.

What Should Happen?

claude should respond. After over 1 hour, there was no response

Error Messages/Logs

Steps to Reproduce

this was evaluating a local codebase that claude had changed in a previous session. The previous session was ended because claude apparently ran out of tokens. claude apparently ran into problems re-evaluating the codebase that it had previously changed. After running for over an hour with no response, I killed the session.
