Claude Code wastes user time by silently retrying failed commands instead of reporting errors

During a session, I asked Claude to run a Python script. The working directory path contained a Turkish character (') which caused bash to fail with exit code 127.

What Claude did:

• Attempted to run the script in background mode → failed silently
• Retried with a different approach → failed again silently
• Retried a third time → still failed
• Only reported the problem after multiple failed attempts and user frustration

What Claude should have done:

• Check the error on the first failure
• Immediately inform the user: "I cannot run this script from my environment due to a path encoding issue — please run it directly"
• Stop retrying the same failing approach

Impact:

• ~1 hour of wasted user time
• Significant token consumption with no useful output
• User had no visibility into what was happening

Request:
When a command fails, Claude should diagnose immediately and communicate clearly rather than silently retrying.
