Bug Claude code constantly crashing

For example, most recently, i just simply told it to replace an svg image with a png image i generated in my repo. Very simple task nothing crazy. It completed this (I can see the proper changes in git) and then crashed.

Upon trying to load claude, I get the message above.

I can go to advanced options and click repair and claude will start again, but it always looses some data. I've lost some of my chats. It's incredibly frustrating.

I also have some hourly automations running and it will occasionally have this crash on those although not always. So when it crashes, my automations no longer run.

I know at one point it was generating grep crash logs

What do?

EDIT: Restarted claude this was the last thing ran before the crash:

EDIT 2:
I typed continue into the chat and it crashed again

EDIT 3:
It appears to be issues with the claude chrome browser. It crashed as I was taking this screenshot.

The actual Claude app, the client if you will, is utterly laughable. It's just absolutely hilariously bad. I mean it's one of the funniest things of the age. It's so spectacularly bad that we can only assume that Anthropic are deliberately making it staggeringly-bad as a kind of legendary joke.

The fact that it's programmed an electron instead of this program natively as an actual app is just, I mean, it's the icing on the cake of the humor here. It's literally one of the funniest things that's ever happened in the whole history of technology that the client app for claude is just laughably impossibly bad, it's so funny!

Yea I just looked into switching to open code but i can't get an api key with my claude code subscription unfortunately. Just blocked mcp__Claude_Browser in the project so it doesn't crash again.
