Bug Description
When running the program, the terminal output is not well formed. When comparing to the output of running it in a separate bash session, it looks wrong. Terminal output should be correctly formatted. This output consists of three lines. The three lines are there, but they are offset incorrectly so that the columns do not align.
Expected output:
| 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 |
0 0
| 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 |claude output:
⎿ | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 |
0 0
| 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 |Environment Info

Cannot repro this with the latest version in Apple Terminal
Please re-open if this issue persists.
@igorkofman I do not have permission to re-open the issue, but the problem is still there. I think it is related to Claude using Bash. Read() works as in your example. Claude using Bash does not work. Directly executing commands with exclamation mark does not work:
!Image
I believe Claude removes initial spaces from Bash output.
Thanks - we'll dig in!
Should be fixed in the next version (Monday)
Update FYI: problem still persists in
v0.2.48Oh man, this regressed. Fixing and adding tests :)
(pass) BashTool output > preserves leading whitespace in output - should be fixed permanently tomorrow.
