In some cases a line of narration text could appear underneath it. That line is no longer displayed, and the empty space that was kept for it is gone too.\n\nTips and the \"Next:\" line naming the upcoming task still appear under the spinner as before.\n\n**Why**\n\nIn practice, the area under the spinner now shows only tips and the next task. It looks like a narration feature has been taken out of this spot.\n\n- Flag `tengu_shining_fractals`: Off in both readings (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.284; this account: off, anonymous baseline: off, compiled default: off) These values were read against a different version of Claude Code, so treat them as the nearest reading available instead of one taken on this release.\n- Area: Terminal UI\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5"}
