still reproduces as a stack overflow here.
This is actually causing the daemon to dump core, very interestingly:
Simpler reproducer:
doesn't crash under Rosetta on aarch64-darwin, though it doesn't actually enter the shell either
n.b. the daemon crash is a red herring. we double throw if the protocol disconnects leading to core dump as above, but that is not the bug here. It's the client stack overflow that is.
Daemon no longer dumps core as of 2.92-dev! This is still a bug that there is infinite recursion, but it's a different bug.
