What
When the /doctor status display shows a list of hooks (scripts that run automatically at certain points, like before a tool runs) that's too long to fit, it now uses a shared component to render the '...and N more' message, instead of building that text itself. The component is passed unit: "hook", so the truncation message reads in terms of hooks specifically.
Why
This is an internal cleanup that makes truncated-list messages consistent across different parts of the doctor/status display, rather than each list formatting its own version of the same text.

Claude reads your CLAUDE.md, CLAUDE.local.md, and AGENTS.md files, plus the rules, skills, commands, subagents, and output …memorysee the edit
Confirmed sinceAnthropic's documentation has since written up /doctor, on Claude Code changelog.* Added `/doctor prompt-audit` (also `/checkup prompt-audit`) to audit your CLAUDE.md files, skills, agents and commands for prompting patterns written for older modelschangelogsee the edit
