What

On Windows, Claude Code has a new helper that switches the terminal's input into raw mode and then straight back to normal. Raw mode is a setting where every keypress goes directly to the program instead of waiting for Enter. This only runs when Claude Code is in a Windows terminal.

Why

This looks like a fix for keyboard input in Windows terminals.
