Bug Description
At this point we've exhausted local fixes. The right move is to file a Claude Code bug report since the CLI has a synchronous SecTrustEvaluate call with no timeout guard — that's a code bug on Anthropic's side.
Run this to file it:
claude /bug
Include in the report:
- Startup consistently takes ~63s
- Stack sample confirms hang in SecTrustEvaluateWithError → securityd_send_sync_and_do → mach_msg2_trap
- Happens on macOS 26.5.2 (Sequoia), Apple Silicon (ARM64), version 2.1.193
- Persists after reboot, after killing trustd/securityd, after removing Surfshark VPN config
