What's Wrong?

Claude Code for VS Code extension (latest, installed 2026-05-27) silently truncated several large HTML files in my project when saving. Trailing <script> blocks, </body>, and </html> tags were cut off. Line endings flipped from LF to CRLF on the same files.

What Should Happen?

Disabling Claude Code stopped the issue. Files were ~700-900 lines, contained inline <style> and <script type="module"> blocks. Windows 11, VS Code latest, only other extension was Live Server.
