Bug Description
<!-- A clear and concise description of the bug -->
We're trying to roll out our pilot, and we have users that experience intermittent locked sessions -
They are unable to type, interact at all with the Claude Code session. The process has to be terminated with a kill -9. CPU Utilization is at 100% for the hung process.
Steps to Reproduce
- Launch Claude Code with
claude - hangs - no interactivity whatsoever.
Expected Behavior
We should be able to interact and utilize Claude Code.
Actual Behavior
Have to force kill the process.
