What's Wrong?
A simple '!yes' is enough to crash claude code and fill up temporary storage.
You probably need some limits on the output from any command? I assume other silly things like '!cat /dev/zero` would show the same issue.
What Should Happen?
Output should be truncated/halted and subshell killed after some reasonable limit (1 MB? context window size?)
