Is this getting better or worse?
This class of problem is converging. 43 new reports in the last 90 days vs 109 in the 90 before — -61%. The open backlog peaked at 40 in 2026-04 and sits at 20 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
106 of these reports name the Claude Code build they were running, spanning 67 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 30 days across 139 closures. Of the 139 closures with a recorded reason, 29% were closed as completed and 99 as not-planned or duplicate. The most recent completed fix landed in 2026-08.
