Problem Statement
Latest claude cli clears its terminal output on exit: given claude cli crashes or system crash on macOS that would be wiped from Terminal.app output (Terminal.app saves all windows and output it case of a system crash)
This new feature is very invasive. Having complete output always available in Terminal.app was a killer feature
> claude --version
2.1.152 (Claude Code)
Proposed Solution
Revert that feature back?
