What
When Claude Code runs another program and reads what it prints, two things changed:
Size limit: if the output is bigger than the allowed limit, Claude Code cuts it down and marks it as having gone over the limit.
Decoding: all output is turned into text the same way, with an option to keep a byte-order mark. That is an invisible marker some files and programs put at the very start of text.
Why
Very large output stays within a set size, and text that starts with a byte-order mark can be kept exactly as it was printed.
