[BUG] CLI crashes with "undefined is not an object (evaluating 'H.slice')" during message processing
Description
Claude Code CLI crashes with TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'H.slice') during an active session. The crash occurs in the message/content rendering pipeline in the bundled CLI code.
Error Details
ERROR undefined is not an object (evaluating 'H.slice')
/$bunfs/root/src/entrypoints/cli.js:7206:1286
The crash site is near the sNH(H) / AtH(H, _) functions in the minified code, which handle message content template concatenation and rendering.
Environment
- Claude Code version: 2.1.84
- Platform: macOS (Darwin 24.6.0)
- Shell: zsh
Steps to Reproduce
The crash occurred during normal interactive usage (mid-session). Exact trigger is unclear but appears related to message content processing where a content block is unexpectedly undefined.
Related Issues
This appears to be in the same family of "undefined is not an object" crashes in the message processing pipeline:
- #24646 (
H.matchvariant) - #32160 (
gH(M).lengthvariant) - #35041 (
H.typevariant) - #26306 (
T.includesvariant) - #14620 (
R.map/T.matchvariant)
All share the pattern of a minified variable being undefined when the rendering/processing code attempts to call a method on it.
Expected Behavior
Claude Code should handle potentially undefined message content gracefully instead of crashing.
