It gains a terminal panel and supporting pieces:\n\n- A new \"Claude Test\" panel shows app start and ready states (\"Starting your app\u2026\", \"Opening your app\u2026\"), \"Read your code\", \"Writing the tests\u2026\", a row per test with pass, fail or blocked marks, a progress bar, an estimate of time left, and hints such as \"\/claude-test fix\" and \"Details in the chat \u00b7 \". An \"Open the full report\" label was also added. The command name `\/claude-test` appears in this panel code and did not appear before.\n\n- Claude is told when the panel is open in the terminal and that the skill's panel rule applies, with a variant for terminals that cannot draw screenshots.\n\n- The build also contains a built-in plugin id `claude-test@builtin`, agents `claude-test:runner` and `claude-test:explorer`, run folders under `.claude-test\/runs`, and an entry pairing `claude-test` with `cc-plugin-claude-test`.\n\n- A new tool, `mcp__plugin_claude-test_browser__claude_test_pane_note`, was added to two allow lists.\n\n- The built-in Playwright MCP server (the browser-control add-on) now gets `CLAUDE_TEST_ESSENTIAL_TRAFFIC=1` when a condition holds. Before, it got only `CLAUDE_TEST_PROJECT_DIR`.\n\n- A \"ui.blit\" entry appears in a method allow list.\n\nNo gate controlling the panel was traced.\n\n**Why**\n\nClaude Test is gaining a terminal view of a test run, so progress and results can be followed without reading the chat.\n\n- Area: Claude Test\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 5\/5\n- Signal: 4\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
