The pane was showing Claude Code's own transcript (tool calls, diffs) — redundant with the feed above. Two measures: - Default pane height is now compact (12 rows): room for the input box and status, (almost) none for transcript. Interactive grow to 75% is unchanged. - When a turn of the embedded session finishes streaming (Tap drop), schedule a ctrl-l into the PTY 400ms later: Claude Code clears the screen but keeps the conversation, leaving just the prompt UI. Residual: while a response is streaming, a few transcript rows can still scroll through the compact pane until the turn-end wipe fires. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
claude-thinking
A TUI that displays Claude Code's streams token-by-token — thinking, text, and tool calls — by sitting as a pass-through proxy between Claude Code and the Anthropic API.
No extra usage: it never issues requests of its own; it observes the SSE stream of requests Claude Code was already making, forwarding bytes verbatim and unbuffered.

TUI: live token feed
Usage
cargo build --release
./target/release/claude-thinking
Then point Claude Code at the proxy, either per-shell:
export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8484
claude
or globally in ~/.claude/settings.json:
{ "env": { "ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL": "http://127.0.0.1:8484" } }
Note: with the global setting, Claude Code can't reach the API while the proxy isn't running.

Display
- ✻ thinking — dim italic, streamed token-by-token
- text — rendered as markdown (
tui-markdown) - ⚙ tool calls — input JSON pretty-printed on completion, raw fragments while streaming
- meta — message boundaries with model, context size, stop reason, token counts
- errors — API/stream errors in red
Sessions are keyed by the Claude Code session ID found in request metadata; concurrent requests (subagents) tap independently.
--headless runs the proxy without the TUI. CT_PORT overrides the port (default 8484).
