Problem Statement

Claude Code shows short rotating tips in the footer/spinner area while a turn is running. They render directly to the terminal and are never written to disk anywhere — not in session transcripts, not in any log file, not in scrollback in a meaningful way once tmux/SSH redraws the pane.

I connect via Windows Terminal → SSH → tmux, and my session drops/redraws intermittently (see issue 2). Tips flash by and are gone before I can read them, and there's currently no way to go back and see what a given tip said.

Request: persist shown spinner tips to a small rotating log (e.g. ~/.claude/spinner-tips.log, last N entries), or expose them via a hook event with the tip text in the payload, so they can be reviewed after the fact. spinnerTipsOverride/spinnerTipsEnabled let me customize or disable tips, but neither helps me see what the built-in tips actually said.
