Bug Description Your /usage panel has gotten to be very annoying in the last week or so: I can't seem to find any terminal dimensions that make it simply render the bar graphs nicely. It was never a problem before. PLEASE make it look fine in an 80x30 terminal window.

I have to admit your CLI's tools "posture" around column width makes me grumpy ... It doesn't feel like it treats 80 characters as "enough". For claude --help to look nice I have to have exactly 92 columns or more. That's just annoying.

Claude Opus 4.7 and the whole model degradation thing has been such a s--tshow. I really like your mission and principled stands against bullies -- but PLEASE get Claude Code and your infra TIGHT and CORRECT as soon as you can. I don't want new features. I want to know that it is SOLID. PLEASE!

Environment Info

  • Platform: darwin
  • Terminal: ghostty
  • Version: 2.1.119
  • Feedback ID: 135bffb2-7639-4153-9512-1eddbda21909

extent analysis

TL;DR

Adjusting the terminal dimensions or using a workaround to handle the rendering of bar graphs in the /usage panel may resolve the issue.

Guidance

  • Verify that the issue persists across different terminal emulators to determine if it's specific to ghostty or a more general problem.
  • Check if there are any existing configuration options in the CLI tool to adjust the rendering of the bar graphs or to set a minimum column width.
  • Consider using a terminal with a wider column width, such as 92 columns or more, as a temporary workaround to improve the rendering of claude --help.
  • Look into potential updates or fixes for the ghostty terminal emulator, version 2.1.119, that may address rendering issues.

Notes

The issue seems to be related to the rendering of the /usage panel and claude --help in the terminal, but without more information about the specific code or configuration, it's difficult to provide a more targeted solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Use a terminal with a wider column width, such as 92 columns or more, to improve the rendering of claude --help until a more permanent fix is available.
