What's Wrong?

I was working on a plan for about 30 minutes and my RAM usage was 10gig. Earlier, today it was high enough to freeze up my MAC Studio computer. I was running a test suite at the time and had been writing tests.

Claude Code 2.1.117.

What Should Happen?

It should run without hogging all the RAM.
