What happened?
The Qwen Code CLI tool crashes with a TypeError when trying to select an authentication method during initial setup. When the authentication selection interface appears and the user presses Enter to select the highlighted "OpenAI" option, the CLI immediately crashes with the following error:
TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'value')

Steps to reproduce:
- Install qwen-code via npm:
npm install -g @qwen-code/qwen-code
- Navigate to any project directory
- Run
qwen or qwen -y
- The authentication selection interface appears
- Press Enter to select the highlighted "OpenAI" option
- The CLI crashes with the TypeError
The error occurs consistently across multiple attempts and prevents any use of the CLI tool.
What did you expect to happen?
The authentication setup should proceed successfully without crashing, allowing the user to configure their authentication method and start using the CLI tool.

Login information
Unable to set up login due to the bug. The error occurs during the authentication selection step before any authentication method can be configured. The CLI shows an "OpenAI" option but crashes when attempting to select it.
Anything else we need to know?
Technical Analysis:
The error suggests that in the RadioButtonSelect component, the code is trying to access items[activeIndex].value where items[activeIndex] is undefined. This indicates that either:
activeIndex is out of bounds for the items array- The
items array is not properly initialized
- There's a race condition in the UI state management
Troubleshooting attempts:
- Tried with both
-y and -ay flags - same error
- Removed and reinstalled the package completely - same error
- Cleared npm cache and qwen configuration directory - same error
- Tested on fresh terminal sessions - same error
Impact:
This bug prevents new users from being able to use the qwen-code CLI tool at all, as it crashes during the initial authentication setup. No workaround is currently available since the error occurs before any authentication can be configured.
