Claude Code now puts a backslash after each opening angle bracket (`<`) in that preview. It adds a note saying the backslashes were added by Claude Code and are not in the output or the saved file. Markers already in the preview are kept.\n\n**Why**\n\nIt stops text that looks like tags in command output from being read as instructions to Claude.\n\n- Area: Bash Tool\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
