DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Claude Code v2.1.238

Fewer stray escape sequences after Claude Code hands the terminal back

You'll notice
Useful3 Signal1
Terminal Rendering

Your shell is less likely to show leftover escape junk after Claude Code exits.

What

The renderer no longer re-sends terminal mode sequences once the interface has been torn down, not just while it is paused, so a shell that regains the terminal is less likely to see leftover escape codes.

Details
  • The bail-out check is now if (this.isPaused || this.isUnmounted) return;, and stored cursor state carries the number of rows emitted.
  • A related probe now tests whether the terminal has already been released rather than whether the app unmounted.
  • Only runs when standard output is a terminal.
Evidence

if (this.isPaused || this.isUnmounted) return;

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
