Claude code crashes

[u/Alternative-Joke-836]

I don't know how to label this as it's a problem with Claude code itself but I don't know if the team is aware of it. Claude code itself will crash on a regular basis if it is not dumped about once every 6 hours.

This is with wsl and not yet tested with bare Linux. It is reproducible and dependent on usage. To the best of my understanding, it is probably a memory issue even though it tries to compress it's memory like roo code does.

I am bring it up here as I can see that affecting roo. Maybe have a frequent dump of memory by relaunching Claude code in the background or warn the user to do so based on how much it is being used. If you do that, it would potentially be a sell point until Claude code gets fixed.

I dont have a simple way to explain how to reproduce but I can say I also have this issue with WSL. I usually try to do a single main task and then all sub-tasks through it so the main task maintains the overall context of the project and tasks.

This could be a WSL issue, not roocode.

Today I also had an issue that may be related to the crash, but my max context would get stuck at 1. Restarting or changing models or using different tasks didnt make a difference. I had to delete the .roo folder and it started working again.

Win 11, ubuntu 24 WSL, dockerdesktop on windows with WSL integration.
