Bug Description
For the past week I'm experiencing a horrific memory leak that fills my 32gb of ram in less than a minute. I think this happens when claude launches agents, but not sure (when I ask it to explore the codebase, review the code etc). This makes claude CLI basically unusable for me. Ran it in ghostty & in alacritty with same results.

Environment Info

  • Platform: linux, debian 13
  • Terminal: ghostty, alacritty
  • Version: 2.1.100
  • Feedback ID: d31fd0e4-d9ac-4a1d-8140-63d47a845304
