[BUG] **EXTREME DANGER**: AskUserQuestion: "No response after 60s — continued without an answer" · Issue #73125 · anthropics/claude-code github.com

  • The behavior was undocumented, missing from the changelog, and a regression from 2.1.196, which worked correctly per the report.
  • Maintainer ThariqS said a release will expose the setting under /config with the timeout configurable and defaulting to off.

Recent commentary

Very weird to spend last night at a game jam with a lot of fun expression of human creativity —mostly from people who (without LLMs) would have had that creativity trapped in their heads — and wake up to a respected professional On Here lamenting that LLMs mean the end of creativity in software.
