[BUG] Image reading - `(B.default || B) is not a function`

Same issue. I came here to see if there were others. I thought it might be an Anthropic API hiccup but a re-request of the same files spit out the same thing:

> please try to read the missing files again

⏺ I'll try to read the missing PDF files again to get a complete picture of all the companies in the report.

Same setup as vemv:

• Claude CLI version: 1.0.44
• Operating System: macOS
• Terminal: iTerm2
• Anthropic API

This issue is due to an image processing dependency that did not get installed on your device. What kind of macOS chip are you running with?

We will introduce error handling so that Claude Code at least attempts to use the original image if the image processing dependency is missing.

I'm on an M3. From my hardware details section on my About This Mac:

  Model Name:	MacBook Pro
  Model Identifier:	Mac15,7
  Model Number:	MRW13LL/A
  Chip:	Apple M3 Pro
  Total Number of Cores:	12 (6 performance and 6 efficiency)
  Memory:	18 GB
  System Firmware Version:	11881.41.5
  OS Loader Version:	10151.140.19.700.2

I won't be able to until next week, but happy to try replicating the same scenario with claude --debug when I'm back. Didn't occur to me in the moment.

M2 Max here

Interesting, how did both of your install Claude Code? Did you use npm, bun, or some other method?

npm

same issue, I use npm install claude code, Is this issue only occurring on the Mac OS? my processor is Intel

I wonder if this is specific to intel macs. We do have a separate code path for that.

I'm on a M2 though, so there are reports for both architectures

Same issue. Macos apple silicon. Running in Fish shell if that's useful. Also why does it say the file doesn't exist using the @?
