What's Wrong?

TUI renders but accepts no keyboard input (arrows, typing, Enter all ignored). --print mode works fine. Bisected to 2.1.113 — 2.1.112 works perfectly.
Bisect:

  • 2.1.91 ✅ works
  • 2.1.110 ✅ works
  • 2.1.112 ✅ works
  • 2.1.113 ❌ broken
  • 2.1.114 ❌ broken

Environment:

  • Claude Code installed via npm global in a Debian 12 container
  • Container host: CentOS 7, kernel 3.10.0-1160.88.1.el7.x86_64
  • Container attached via docker exec -it over SSH from macOS
  • Node v23.11.1 in container
  • TERM=xterm-256color

Symptoms:

  • TUI banner/layout renders correctly
  • Escape sequences leak into input box ([>0q, [<u]9;4;0; visible as literal text)
  • No keystrokes reach the TUI (tested: letters, arrows, Enter)
  • Session exits cleanly at 30s with "No API key available" because auth dialog input is also dead
  • Shell raw-mode input works fine outside Claude Code (read -n 1, cat, less all responsive)
  • claude --print "..." works perfectly

Suspected cause: Likely a Bun runtime bump or TTY input path change in 2.1.113 that uses a syscall or epoll behavior unsupported by kernel 3.10's legacy epoll. Modern kernels likely unaffected.

What Should Happen?

TUI should be responsive
