### Preflight Checklist
- [x] I have searched [existing issues](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20label%3Abug) and this hasn't been reported yet
- [x] This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
- [x] I am using the latest version of Claude Code
### What's Wrong?
Turns fail with `API Error: JSON Parse error: Unexpected EOF`. The request reaches the
API and starts streaming — a real requestId is assigned and partial content is written
to the transcript — then the turn dies and all of its work is discarded.
No 4xx/5xx is ever logged, so this is not a server-side failure. The error string is
JavaScriptCore phrasing (Node/V8 would say "Unexpected end of JSON input"), so the
failing JSON.parse is inside the Bun-built CLI binary — consistent with a truncated or
malformed SSE data: line.
127 unique occurrences (deduplicated by requestId) across 53 distinct days,
2026-06-01 to 2026-08-31. Currently ~12/day. Losses per event range from a few seconds
to 1186s — about 20 minutes of work gone in a single failure.
### What Should Happen?
A malformed SSE frame should be retried, or at minimum surfaced as a recoverable error
that preserves the turn — rather than discarding up to 20 minutes of completed work.
### Error Messages/Logs
```shell
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Claude\Logs\main.log
[warn] [CCD CycleHealth] local_ api_error (success): API Error: JSON Parse error: Unexpected EOF
[info] [CCD CycleHealth] unhealthy cycle for local_ (1186s, hadFirstResponse=true, reason=api_error)
Note hadFirstResponse=true — streaming had already begun.
Transcript record: "error":"unknown", "isApiErrorMessage":true, a valid requestId,
"model":"".
Observed wasted cycle durations:
0s, 27s, 62s, 78s, 122s, 241s, 289s, 704s, 834s, 961s, 1131s, 1186s
```
### Steps to Reproduce
Not deterministically reproducible. It surfaces on its own during normal use, typically
several minutes into a turn.
Conditions where it appears here:
1. Windows 11, Claude Desktop, 4-7 concurrent CLI sessions on the machine.
2. Work normally for a few minutes.
3. The turn dies with the error above; frequency is currently ~12/day.
It is NOT correlated with context size: failures occur at 81K and at 803K input tokens
alike, while 97.4% of 14,300 successful turns fall in that same range.
### Claude Model
Opus
### Is this a regression?
Yes, this worked in a previous version
### Last Working Version
2.1.146
### Claude Code Version
2.1.247
### Platform
Anthropic API
### Operating System
Windows
### Terminal/Shell
Other
### Additional Information
Platform note: Claude subscription (not a pay-as-you-go API key), routed through
api.anthropic.com. Not Bedrock, not Vertex.
Environment note: run from the Claude Desktop app on Windows (entrypoint
"claude-desktop"), not from a terminal emulator — hence "Other" above.

Línea de trabajo
Start with %LOCALAPPDATA%\Claude\Logs\main.log and the CCD CycleHealth entries, then compare behavior between versions 2.1.146, 2.1.149, and 2.1.247 around malformed SSE data frames. Done means a mid-stream parse failure is retried or reported as recoverable while preserving the partial turn and its completed work.
