What's Wrong?
Extended thinking is enabled, but the thinking content is no longer displayed
in the conversation UI when using Claude Opus 4.7. Switching to Sonnet 4.6
shows thinking blocks correctly. (yes I tried clicking on it, doesn't work)
Steps to reproduce
- Set model to
claude-opus-4-7via/model - Enable extended thinking
- Send any message — thinking is not shown
Expected behavior
Thinking blocks visible inline, as they were before the recent update.
Actual behavior
Thinking runs (spinner shows) but content is hidden/not rendered.
Environment
- Claude Code VSCode extension
- Model: claude-opus-4-7 (1M context)
- Works on: claude-sonnet-4-6
What Should Happen?
show the thinking process again, when expanded.
