Bug Description
Title: AskUserQuestion tool triggers degenerate token loop ("court" repeated)

When the assistant invokes the AskUserQuestion tool, the output stream
degenerates into hundreds of repetitions of the token "court" before/around
the tool call. It is reproducible and recurs every time AskUserQuestion is used.

  • Model: Claude Opus 4.8 (claude-opus-4-8)
  • Env: Claude Code CLI on macOS (darwin)
  • Trigger: any AskUserQuestion call
  • Frequency: every time (100% in this session)
  • Workaround so far: avoid AskUserQuestion, ask in plain text
  • Also observed: sometimes after reading images
  • Attaching session transcript (contains multiple reproductions).

Environment Info

  • Platform: darwin
  • Terminal: xterm-256color
  • Version: 2.1.201
  • Feedback ID: 8536d3a5-6313-4b16-a956-a265b7c4d59b
