Under the hood
Terminal style pool now compacts far more often as it nears its capacity limit
What
Claude Code's terminal rendering keeps a pool of interned text styles to reuse them efficiently. A new check now flags the pool as "near capacity" once its count of unique styles passes roughly half of its hard limit. When near capacity, the interval between compaction checks shrinks drastically, from 30000 down to 1000.
Why
Compacting more aggressively as the pool fills up is meant to keep it under its hard cap; hitting that cap would otherwise force the terminal to fall back to rendering without styling.

The unit of the 30000/1000 interval (milliseconds, frames, or something else) is not stated.
