extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue might be related to a regression in the latest version of Claude Code, and reverting to a previous version or waiting for an update could resolve the issue.

Guidance

  • Since the issue is reported as a regression, it's likely that a recent change in the codebase is causing the problem.
  • Try to identify the last working version of Claude Code, as this information could be crucial in debugging the issue.
  • If possible, test the same version of Claude Code on a different platform or operating system to see if the issue is specific to macOS.
  • Consider reaching out to the development team or waiting for an update, as the issue might be already known and being worked on.

Notes

The lack of error messages or logs makes it difficult to provide a more specific solution. Additionally, without knowing the last working version, it's hard to pinpoint the exact cause of the regression.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Wait for an update or reach out to the development team, as the issue is likely related to a recent change in the codebase and might be already known.
