What's Wrong?

As of 2.1.107, verbose mode no longer shows the contents of written files inline (screenshot below). This is a major issue when using Claude Code for real-time pair programming. Seeing all diffs in the terminal, including for new files, is essential. This change means every new file has to be opened manually to review. That's fine if you're running CC as a background agent, but not for pair programming.

This kind of over simplificaiton doesn't make sense for a verbose mode.

What Should Happen?

Show proper diffs (i.e. all file changes) in verbose. I.e. how it's been working until the last version.

TL;DR

The issue can be potentially resolved by reverting the change that removed the inline file contents display in verbose mode or by configuring Claude Code to show diffs for new files.

Guidance

  • Review the changelog for version 2.1.107 to understand the reasoning behind the change and potential configuration options that might restore the previous behavior.
  • Check if there are any command-line flags or configuration settings in Claude Code that can be used to enable the display of inline file contents in verbose mode.
  • Consider filing a feature request to reinstate the previous behavior of showing all diffs in the terminal, including for new files, in verbose mode.
  • Test previous versions of Claude Code to identify the exact version where the behavior changed and verify if it's a regression.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue does not contain sufficient code-related information.

Notes

The solution may depend on the internal implementation of Claude Code and the Anthropic API, which are not fully described in the issue. The fix might require changes to the Claude Code configuration or the underlying API.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: The best course of action seems to be to wait for a potential fix in a future version of Claude Code or to explore configuration options that might restore the desired behavior, as the current version has intentionally changed the behavior of verbose mode.
