What's Wrong?

When parallel tool calls are interrupted or fail, the conversation history becomes corrupted with orphaned tool_use blocks that lack corresponding tool_result blocks. All subsequent API requests fail with a 400 error until a new conversation is started.

This commonly occurs when Claude makes multiple parallel tool calls (e.g., reading multiple files) and something interrupts them (cancellation, timeout, or error).

What Should Happen?

Claude Code should handle interrupted parallel tool calls gracefully by adding placeholder/error tool_result blocks for interrupted calls, or cleaning up orphaned tool_use blocks before sending to the API. The conversation should recover automatically without requiring a new session.

Steps to Reproduce

Open Claude Code in VSCode (version 2.1.19)
Start a conversation and make a request that triggers multiple parallel tool calls (e.g., "read these 3 files" or any complex search operation)
Have the operation interrupted - this can happen via:
User cancellation during execution
Timeout on one or more tools
An error occurring mid-execution (e.g., file too large)
Attempt any subsequent action in the same conversation
Error appears: "API Error: 400 due to tool use concurrency issues"
All further requests in this conversation fail with the same error
