claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [BUG] Opus 4.8: Repeated/duplicated output blocks in Claude Code CLI, worsening with session length

Preflight Checklist

What's Wrong?

In Claude Code CLI (Opus 4.8), tool call output blocks are duplicated multiple times within a single response. The same text block repeats 5–10+ times consecutively. The issue worsens as the session grows longer and is consistently reproducible.

What Should Happen?

Each tool call output block should appear exactly once per response.

Error Messages/Logs

No error messages. The duplication appears silently in the terminal output. Example of observed output (git sync status response):

⏺ 完了しました ✅ ローカルと origin/main は完全に同期しています。
  366d152  Track eval source scripts ← 今回
  72cbeb5  Parallelize per-source summarization ← 前回

⏺ 完了しました ✅ ローカルと origin/main は完全に同期しています。

(Pattern repeats 8+ more times in the same response)

Steps to Reproduce

1. Start a Claude Code CLI session using Opus 4.8
2. Run tasks involving git operations (e.g., checking sync status)
3. Continue the session for several exchanges
4. Observe that the same output block repeats multiple times in a single reply

The issue is reproducible consistently and worsens with session length.
