What
Claude Code draws its interface in the terminal with a text component. That component has a new faintInk style for muted text.
faintInk is a new setting on the Text component. It applies when the text is inverse and active and the theme is not otherwise active.
The text styler shows text as dim when the faintInk style equals the color, no bold or dim is already set, and the color is in a known set. This looks like a fallback for terminals that show that color poorly.
Why
Some muted text in the terminal may look different, most likely dimmer, than before.
