Bug Description
Bash commands don't always work but hang instead. Seems like they sometimes start working after running /compact and then have no issues for a while.

FYI https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/35
@wolffiex I am also still experiencing the same issue, but on Mac with zsh default shell on Ghostty as well.
fixes it.
Thanks for the input. I saw multiple possibly related issue reports before creating this one, but there seems to be some different conditions.
Unfortunately
SHELL=/bin/bash claudedoesn't help in my case. Haven't still figured out a clear pattern on what triggers bash commands to work or not, I'm open to troubleshooting tips.we pushed a fix for issues with noclobber that were affecting bash and zsh. please update and let me know if this is fixed in 0.2.37
Haven't encountered the problem anymore for a few days since the update so it seems to be fixed, thanks!
@wolffiex I'm encountering this with Claude Code 1.0.9, almost every bash command seems to hang.
