Key Observations
- duration_ms: ~261ms - crashes almost instantly
- total_cost_usd: 0 - no API calls made
- Consistent failure - re-running produces same error
- Error is from AJV (JSON Schema validator) in the SDK

Notes
Per #852 comments, one user resolved this by switching from claude_code_oauth_token to anthropic_api_key. This suggests the underlying issue is authentication failing, but the SDK crashes with a confusing AJV error instead of surfacing the auth error properly.
