What's Wrong?

I was running the /ship command from my workflow manager project https://github.com/trakrf/claude-spec-workflow. I am in a rapid development cycle where I am using the tool to develop the tool. I just finished a /build and ran /ship to build a PR. Before it finished I got this crashdump.

Here's the feature branch that I was working on : https://github.com/trakrf/claude-spec-workflow/tree/feature/active-interactive-clarification. I wanted to move on to my next spec so I re-ran /ship, merged, and moved on. But I'll leave the feature branch for a few days.

Host OS Ubuntu 24.04 on an Incus container, 91GB ram available, 6 CPUs, 1.6T available in rootfs. So plenty of resources.

I did run this claude session for a few hours and I dont know how much context was available when I started the command.

I figured that I would report this just in case the crash dump would be helpful or informative in solving other issues

What Should Happen?

prompt should run to completion. the /ship command runs tests, commits, pushes to remote, and calls gh to create a PR
