> why does it default to full screen?

Pardon my ignorance, but what does this mean? It's a terminal app that has always expanded to the full terminal, no? I've not noticed any difference in how it renders in the terminal.

What am i misunderstanding in your comment?

A tui does not have to start full screen, v1 of claude did not take over the entire terminal, it would only use a bit at the bottom and scroll up until it was full screen.

I just downgraded to v1 to confirm this.

Weird, i use it exclusively in the terminal (in raw term, tmux and zellij) and i've not noticed any difference in behavior. On both MacOS and Linux.

Wonder what changes that i'm not seeing? Do you think it's a regression or intentional?

sorry, but insert spacebar heater xkcd here :D https://xkcd.com/1172/

pretty sure your old behavior was the broken one tho - i vaguely remember fugling with this to "fullscreen correctly" for a claude-in-docker-in-cygwin-via-MSYS2 a while ago
