What's Wrong?
When the assistant outputs text and then calls a tool in the same response,
the text before the tool call gets displayed twice — once during streaming,
and again after the tool call completes.
This did not happen in earlier versions. Games and other scenarios that
require text + tool calls in the same turn used to work fine.
Client: Claude Code iOS app
Version: 2.1.214
What Should Happen?
When the assistant outputs text and calls a tool in the same response, the text should only be displayed once.
Error Messages/Logs
No error messages. The text output is simply duplicated in the UI.
Steps to Reproduce
- Ask Claude to do something that requires both a text reply and a tool call in the same turn (e.g., "say hello and save this to a file")
- Claude outputs text first, then calls a tool (like Write or an MCP tool)
- The text that appeared before the tool call gets displayed a second time after the tool call completes
