Problem Statement

the file updates are still showing in the chat. is there a way to
turn them off

⏺ Those are IDE diagnostic notifications — they come from your editor,
not from me. I don't have control over them. You may be able to
suppress them in your IDE settings or by adjusting the Claude Code
extension's diagnostic reporting settings.

ber] || '';

328 - html += '<td><input type="text" clas

⏺ That's the Claude Code tool output — it shows diffs when I use the
Edit tool. That's built into the CLI interface and I can't suppress
it. It will always display when I make file changes. It's separate
from what I write as text in my responses.

❯ can you let someone know it's not helpful blows up the chat. it should at least be an option to log
it somewhere else
