What's Wrong?

Reviving #40087 #47536

Bug Description
This is not actionable by the user and seems misplaced? This shows to the user in /context rather than showing this to Claude in the system prompt, or any other potential actions that Claude Code could take.


      ℹ File reads using 11.1k tokens (6%) → save ~3.3k
        If you are re-reading files, consider referencing earlier reads. Use offset/limit for large files.

Environment Info

  • Platform: linux
  • Terminal: VSCode, Kitty, Konsole, other
  • Version: 2.1.186

The message should specify an action the user could take, if any exists. Or be sent to the model or actioned automatically internally.

  2. /context all
