This does not happen in print mode (`-p`) or when Claude Code is driven by the SDK, the programming library for running Claude Code from code.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis is new work done on every interactive launch, likely in support of previewing output in a browser.\n\n- Area: Preview Browser\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 4\/5"}
