What
Claude often runs commands that end in | tail, which keeps only the last lines of output. Claude Code can now notice this, keep the full input to tail in a file, and add a note such as 'Full output ({size}): {path} Read it instead of re-running.' (or 'Full input to tail').
- This applies when the run takes long enough and
tailthrew away some input, and only when the saved file is larger than what was returned. - It works only on Linux, without
CLAUDE_CODE_SHELL_PREFIXset, and under some other conditions. - How it behaves follows the value of the server-controlled switch
tengu_peaceful_origami:checksoranyfor which lines count, with optional custom wording. - A failed command (one with a non-zero exit code) gets this note only when a separate switch allows it. That switch is now
tengu_parallel_sunrise, with a fallback of off. It used to betengu_tidy_origami, a switch whose purpose was not known before. The same switch also takes part in a second output-handling decision whose details were not traced.
Nothing has been read about tengu_parallel_sunrise. Readings this site took before this release found tengu_peaceful_origami and tengu_tidy_origami off for its own account and for an anonymous one. No reading has been taken under this release.
Why
It saves Claude from re-running a slow build or test just to see output that tail cut off. Because it is controlled from the server, it may not appear for everyone.
