Bug Description

When running commands in Claude Code, the following error appears:

Thinking…

  Let me create the new directory structure first:

● Bash(mkdir -p /home/xxx/...)
  ⎿  Error: /home/libaoy/.claude/shell-snapshots/snapshot-zsh-1756373077253-0dv4lw.sh:4485: parse error near `\n'

✻ Thinking…

  Let me fix that command by breaking it down:

● Bash(mkdir -p  /home/xxx/...)
  ⎿  Error: /home/libaoy/.claude/shell-snapshots/snapshot-zsh-1756373077253-0dv4lw.sh:4485: parse error near `\n'

● Bash(mkdir -p  /home/xxx/...)
  ⎿  Error: /home/libaoy/.claude/shell-snapshots/snapshot-zsh-1756373077253-0dv4lw.sh:4485: parse error near `\n'

Steps to Reproduce

I’m not sure how to reproduce this, but I encounter the error every time I run a query. It seems to be related to executing system commands. I already tried reinstalling, but the issue persists.

Expected Behavior

Bash commands run normally without errors.

Actual Behavior

The referenced line does not exist in the script.

Additional Context

I also checked the script mentioned in the error message, and it does not contain line 4485.
