Three streams of data were being lost or mangled in the feed.
WebSearch is not purely client-side: it issues a nested /v1/messages that
declares Anthropic's hosted web_search under the parent session id and with
no agent-id header. Read as a turn start it pushed a fake user prompt,
clobbered the main lane's system/tools signatures and downgraded a [1m]
session to the short window on the next resume. Requests are now classified
three ways (Turn / ServerTool / Side) from the tools array shape alone, and a
nested call gets its own lane, readable only in the A popup. Its result and
citations arrive complete in the stream and are echoed back in no later
request body, so they are attached as the stream delivers them.
An Agent call returns its tool_result immediately ("async agent launched"),
so the real completion is a <task-notification> injected into the parent's
next user turn. Those are lifted out of the prompt: the report moves onto the
Agent entry it answers, the usage totals onto the lane, and the status
becomes one glyph-led note line. A finished agent used to keep reading as
running.
Tool output we do not control carries SGR codes. A self-contained parser maps
them to styles instead of leaving [1m as literal text; filled blocks keep
their own colours and take only the attributes.
Also: a non-2xx upstream response now surfaces as an error entry instead of a
silent stall, tool renderers cover the file/shell/task/prompt/web families,
and the fake upstream answers the nested hosted-tool request so both search
paths run offline.
claude-cloak
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-cloak
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).
