Is this getting better or worse?
This class of problem is converging. 68 new reports in the last 90 days vs 91 in the 90 before — -25%. The open backlog peaked at 54 in 2026-10 and sits at 54 today.
Derived by counting each matching issue from its creation date until it closed. First-party
computation over the anthropics/claude-code tracker — the trend is not published
anywhere upstream.
Which builds report this
194 of these reports name the Claude Code build they were running, spanning 118 releases. Heaviest reporters:

Report volume, not a defect count: an issue can mention a build without that build having caused the failure. Versions come from the version string in the bug-report template, matched against real published tags.
Do these get fixed?
Median time to close is 31 days across 172 closures. Of the 172 closures with a recorded reason, 23% were closed as completed and 133 as not-planned or duplicate. The most recent completed fix landed in 2026-10.
