What's Wrong?

GDScript (.gd) files have no syntax highlighting in code blocks and diffs. All GDScript code appears as plain white text. Other languages (TypeScript, Python, Rust) are highlighted correctly in the same session.

What Should Happen?

GDScript code should have syntax highlighting (keywords, strings, numbers, types colored) similar to other supported languages.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Claude Code CLI in iTerm2
  2. Ask Claude to create/edit a .gd file and a .ts file
  3. Compare the diff output — .ts has colors, .gd is plain white
