Bug Description
When running the program, the terminal output is not well formed. When comparing to the output of running it in a separate bash session, it looks wrong. Terminal output should be correctly formatted. This output consists of three lines. The three lines are there, but they are offset incorrectly so that the columns do not align.

Expected output:

   |  3 |  3 |  3 |  3 |  3 |  3 |
 0                                 0
   |  3 |  3 |  3 |  3 |  3 |  3 |

claude output:

  ⎿  |  3 |  3 |  3 |  3 |  3 |  3 |
      0                                 0
        |  3 |  3 |  3 |  3 |  3 |  3 |

Environment Info

  • Platform: linux
  • Terminal: Guake terminal
  • Version: 0.2.8
  • Feedback ID: 9ffa6d84-c209-4e41-9e87-85a7af099030

    Cannot repro this with the latest version in Apple Terminal

    Please re-open if this issue persists.

    @igorkofman I do not have permission to re-open the issue, but the problem is still there. I think it is related to Claude using Bash. Read() works as in your example. Claude using Bash does not work. Directly executing commands with exclamation mark does not work:

    I believe Claude removes initial spaces from Bash output.

    (pass) BashTool output > preserves leading whitespace in output - should be fixed permanently tomorrow.
