[Bug] Extended thinking blocks leak into visible assistant output instead of being collapsed
Bug Description
[Bug] Extended thinking / internal reasoning blocks leak into the visible
assistant output instead of being collapsed.
Environment:
- Claude Code 2.1.218 (Windows 11, PowerShell)
- Model: opus[1m] (Opus 4.8 1M context)
- effortLevel: "xhigh" (in settings.json)
Symptom:
The model's English internal reasoning (thinking block) is rendered in full
at the top of the final answer, mixed with the actual (Korean) response.
Occurs repeatedly within a long session.
Trigger correlation:
Frequency appears tied to effortLevel "xhigh" — higher effort produces longer
thinking, which leaks more often. claude update (already on latest 2.1.218)
did not fix it. Lowering effort to "high" via /effort is being tested as a
workaround.
Expected: thinking blocks stay hidden/collapsed, never inline in the answer.
