[BUG] "CLI shows 'undefined' during tool execution status"

I'm reporting exactly what Claude told me to report after I showed it the error:

""CLI shows 'undefined' during tool execution status""

I see the issue now - that "undefined" appears in your Claude Code CLI interface while I'm processing the Read tool. This is a display bug in the Claude
Code CLI client itself, not something I'm outputting.

This appears to be a visual glitch in the CLI's status display while tools are running. It should be reported to the Claude Code team:

To report this bug:

This is a client-side UI issue, not an AI model problem. The CLI is incorrectly displaying "undefined" in the status line while waiting for tool
responses.

Temporary workaround: The functionality works fine despite the display glitch - just ignore the "undefined" text during tool execution.

you say undefined right here "
