What's Wrong?

Claude code has stopped working over SSH

  • last night it wasnt loading at all - would hang after running claude in terminal
  • this morning it freezes once the TUI is open - cant type anything into the input box, cant ctrl+c, totally unresponsive

having no issues with codex ..... seems to be a recent issue, being forced to stop using claude code because of this.

What Should Happen?

i ssh into my dev machine i run claude in terminal, it opens and i can start typing and using claude code
