Bug Description

After updating to the latest version of Claude Code, the file completion feature using the @ symbol shows a noticeable response delay of approximately 500ms. Previously, file suggestions appeared instantly after typing one character following the @ symbol.

Expected Behavior

  • File suggestions should appear immediately (within ~50ms) after typing a character following the @ symbol
  • This was the behavior in previous versions

Actual Behavior

  • File suggestions now take approximately 500ms to appear
  • The delay is consistent and reproducible
  • File completion still works correctly, but with noticeable latency

Environment Information

  • OS: macOS 14.5 (Darwin 24.5.0)
  • Claude Code Version: 1.0.24
  • Project Size: ~50 files (small project)
  • Terminal: Standard terminal
  • Working Directory: Git repository

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Claude Code in any project
  2. Type @ followed by any character (e.g., @s)
  3. Observe the delay before file suggestions appear
  4. Compare with previous immediate response

Additional Context

  • This issue occurs even in small projects (~50 files)
  • The functionality works correctly, only the response time is affected
  • No error messages are displayed
  • The delay is consistent across different file patterns

Difference from Issue #1397

This issue is different from #1397 where file completion completely stops working. In this case:

  • File completion works correctly but with added latency
  • No broken functionality, only performance degradation
  • Affects projects of all sizes, not just large monorepos

Impact

While not breaking functionality, this performance regression affects development workflow efficiency and user experience.
