I think TikZ understood my %

@Sebastiano I use VS Code. The LaTeX Workshop extension gives me a link to see the compilation process, which I don't use really often, but it is very useful in strange situations, like this situation.

The infinite loop is triggered by any unexpandable control sequence token, even byrelax
(except implicit character tokens that raise errors). Bracing the token is the right way to go.
