• Node.js: v24.15.0
• npm: 11.12.1
• VC++ Runtime: v14.36.32532
• Architecture: x86-64
• ntdll.dll version: 10.0.22621.4111

Steps to Reproduce

1. npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code@2.1.112 (or 2.1.114)
2. Run claude or claude --version
3. Segmentation fault occurs immediately

Crash Details (Windows Event Log)

• Faulting application: claude.exe (version 2.1.114.0)
• Faulting module: ntdll.dll (10.0.22621.4111)
• Exception code: 0xc0000005 (ACCESS_VIOLATION)
• Faulting offsets: 0x0000000000033faa, 0x0000000000054c2e, 0x00000000000218b8

Workaround

npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code@2.1.111

Notes

The issue appears to be related to the native binary (claude.exe) introduced in v2.1.112. The Node.js-based versions (v2.1.111 and earlier) work without issues.
