Description

After installing Laravel Boost in an existing local application, Claude Code freezes after launch and doesn't accept any input.

If I run: claude doctor, it will start and then not freeze but running just claude causes it to freeze.

After troubleshooting for a while, I reversed the changes that were made to CLAUDE.MD and then it no longer freezes and the Boost MCP Server works fine.

I'm using the Claude Code Native Binary version for Windows.

Steps To Reproduce

• Run composer require laravel/boost --dev
• Run php artisan boost:install

Hey, I’m not sure if this is actually an issue with Boost. Could you share a video showing whether adding the content of CLAUDE.md causes the freeze or not? Also, sharing the content of CLAUDE.md itself would help us debug this better. Thanks.

I'm going to go ahead and close it because it happened in another application where Boost was not installed. Seems like it is a Claude Code/VS Code Issue
