Environment

  • Platform (select one):
  • [x] Anthropic API
  • [ ] AWS Bedrock
  • [ ] Google Vertex AI
  • [ ] Other: <!-- specify -->
  • Claude CLI version: 1.0.22 <!-- output of claude --version -->
  • Operating System: linux <!-- e.g. macOS 14.3, Windows 11, Ubuntu 22.04 -->
  • Terminal: Ghostty <!-- e.g. iTerm2, Terminal App -->

Bug Description

When Claude Code decides to do a significant task, there is no way to view what it's doing as it happens, which means it's not possible to easily monitor and interrupt it when it makes a mistake. I've gotten to the point that I instruct CC to not use tasks that much because I can't follow along.

The worst is that it will do Update actions in the Task and there is no record of them in the output.
<!-- A clear and concise description of the bug -->

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Have CC use a task.

Expected Behavior

The output for tasks should not be collapsed, it should be just like the normal output. It should also be interruptable so that it can be redirected.

Actual Behavior

Tasks are rolled up show only a bit of the list interaction output and the count.

Additional Context

Using CC as a pair programmer means following along and interrupting it when things go south, but tasks make this impossible.
