Hacker News thread: Claude Code is being dumbed down?

A blog post argued that Claude Code 2.1.20 replaced file paths and search patterns with one-line summaries such as 'Read 3 files', hiding what the agent does. The thread drew 1,085 points and 701 comments.

Who is affected:

Claude Code users who review which files the agent reads.

What to do:

Use verbose mode if you need full file paths.
