What's Wrong?

On Opus 4.8 with extended thinking, on a clean build with the latest update, there is a client-side bug where the cryptographic signature on the thinking blocks is not being returned intact. It may be truncating thinking blocks (?) As a result every message after starts to brick and that instance of Claude Code bricks as well

What Should Happen?

Claude Code should be returning thinking blocks exactly + signed, so instances can continue as normal
