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 tail threw away some input, and only when the saved file is larger than what was returned.
  • It works only on Linux, without CLAUDE_CODE_SHELL_PREFIX set, and under some other conditions.
  • How it behaves follows the value of the server-controlled switch tengu_peaceful_origami: checks or any for 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 be tengu_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.

The flag server returned off for the account this site reads and for the anonymous baseline. A reading of off cannot rule out a rollout these two readings sit outside of.

These values were read against a different version of Claude Code, so treat them as the nearest reading available instead of one taken on this release.
