Preflight Checklist

  • I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
  • This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
  • I am using the latest version of Claude Code

What's Wrong?

The Chrome native messaging host crashes immediately on launch, preventing Claude Code from connecting to the Claude in Chrome extension. The crash is a Bun internal assertion failure, not a user code issue.

Environment

  • Claude Code: 2.1.110
  • OS: Windows 11 Enterprise 10.0.26200
  • Bun: 1.3.13 (bundled)
  • Node: v24.14.1
  • Chrome extension ID: fcoeoabgfenejglbffodgkkbkcdhcgfn

What Should Happen?

Expected behavior

Native host starts successfully and Chrome extension connects to Claude Code.

Steps to Reproduce

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install Claude in Chrome extension
  2. Run /chrome in Claude Code to register the native messaging host
  3. Restart Chrome
  4. Attempt to connect — tabs_context_mcp returns "Browser extension is not connected"
  5. Run the native host manually to see the crash: "C:\Users<user>.local\bin\claude.exe" --chrome-native-host

extent analysis

TL;DR

The Chrome native messaging host crash is likely due to a compatibility issue with Bun version 1.3.13, and a workaround may involve investigating the crash report or checking for updates to Bun or Claude Code.

Guidance

Notes

The issue is specific to Windows 11 and Bun version 1.3.13, and the crash report may provide more information about the root cause.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Investigate the crash report and check for updates to Bun or Claude Code, as the issue may be related to a compatibility problem with the current version of Bun.
