What's Wrong?

Version: 2.1.119
OS: Windows 11
Auth: claude.ai OAuth / Pro plan

Bug: Every command retries up to 10 times ("Retrying in Xs · attempt X/10")
and never gets a response. Happens on every single input.

Confirmed working:

• API reachable (curl returns 401 as expected)
• No proxy (direct access)
• Auth valid (claude auth status shows logged in)
• Usage limits not hit (3% session, 16% weekly)
• Clean config (wiped ~/.claude and ~/.claude.json, re-authenticated)
• Claude Desktop uninstalled
• Tested in project folder, not home directory

Expected: Claude responds to input
Actual: Infinite retry loop, no response

What Should Happen?

Claude responds to input
