What's Wrong?
- Claude Code version: 2.1.142
- OS: Linux (KDE Plasma)
- Terminal emulator: Konsole
- Shell: bash
The Write tool visualization is broken since 2.1.140 or 2.1.141, the inline code preview only renders some keyword tokens and somehow invisible, as if their foreground color matches the terminal background.

This is the expected output I used to have until 2.1.140 or 2.1.141
