That mode indicator is now always a single piece placed before the hint. When a certain condition holds, a second piece is drawn after the hint. Before, Claude Code picked one of two versions of the indicator and drew it before the hint.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis is a small layout change to the footer, so things may sit in a slightly different place than you are used to.\n\n- Area: Terminal UI\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
