A message you sent now renders dimmed and colorless while Claude is still working on it, distinguishing it from settled messages
What
The text-rendering component underlying Claude Code's terminal output gained a monochrome prop that, when set, strips out color so text renders as plain/dim/italic only, with no ANSI color codes.
- The "You" message row (what you typed) now tracks an
awaitingModelstate, derived from the message ID, which is true while a response is still in flight or the message is queued. - While
awaitingModelis true, the label and body of your message render in a subtle/inactive color using this monochrome mode, in both the brief and normal transcript layouts.
Why
This gives a visual cue that distinguishes a message you just sent (still being processed) from earlier messages that have already been fully handled, without needing to read timestamps or scroll state.
