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
- Open Claude Code in any project
- Type
@followed by any character (e.g.,@s) - Observe the delay before file suggestions appear
- 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.
