Resolved 💬 6 comments Opened Aug 18, 2025 by paradoxally Closed Aug 18, 2025

Environment

  • Platform (select one):
  • [ ] Anthropic API
  • [ ] AWS Bedrock
  • [ ] Google Vertex AI
  • [x] Other: Claude Code TUI
  • Claude CLI version: 1.0.83
  • Operating System: macOS 15.5
  • Terminal: Hyper (but also happens in macOS default terminal)

Bug Description

Claude Code is no longer outputting its usual status one-liners in orange when its thinking about a prompt.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Claude Code
  2. Type any prompt and hit enter
  3. You will see "undefined" instead of an appropriate status (e.g., "Noodling", "Pontificating", "Healing", etc.)

Expected Behavior

For CC TUI to output a random appropriate status.

Actual Behavior

It just says "undefined". Sometimes it does output a random status but immediately changes to "undefined" before the output of the prompt is displayed.

Additional Context

Screenshot of what happens when its thinking. Notice how it says "undefined" in orange.
