What
Claude Code adds a new component that draws a vertical scrollbar using pipe characters, with a "thumb" sized and positioned based on how many items are visible, the total item count, and the panel's height. It only appears when the content is too long to fit in the visible area.
Why
This gives users a visual cue of their position within a long list and how much more content there is to scroll through.
