Error Message

When uploading an image without typing any text and submitting, the system throws an error and continues to error repeatedly until Claude manages to recover and respond. This issue has occurred twice already. The system throws an error immediately and enters an error loop — it keeps erroring on every subsequent attempt until Claude is somehow able to break out of the loop and respond.
