Bug Description
I got this error: API Error: 400 messages.1.content.21: thinking or redacted_thinking blocks in the latest assistant message cannot be modified. These blocks must remain as they were in the original response.

I am using vanilla claude code with my anthropic subscription.

  • Terminal: ghostty
  • Version: 2.1.154
