What

Sometimes Claude Code cannot draw an image in your terminal. It then shows the image's alt text instead, which is a short written description. The diagnostic message explaining this now names the specific reason, when Claude Code recognises one from testing what the terminal can do. Before, it always gave one general message: the terminal draws neither kitty placeholder images nor iTerm2 inline images.

Why

It is easier to see why images are not appearing in your terminal.
