Unclear The finding does not say what content currently fills these slots, so it is unclear what a desktop user will actually see there.
What
Claude Code keeps a map of named screen areas, called slots, and which surfaces each one can appear on. The PromptHint and AbovePrompt slots, which sit around the prompt box where you type, used to be listed only for terminal. They are now listed for desktop as well.
Why
Content that goes into these areas around the prompt can now show up in the desktop app too, not only in the terminal version of Claude Code.
