- This adapter drives the Claude web UI in the browser, not an API
- Claude commands default to persistent site sessions, so consecutive
claude ask / claude read / claude detail invocations continue in the same Claude page. Pass --site-session ephemeral for a one-shot tab.
--model opus requires a paid Claude plan; on a free-tier account the adapter surfaces a usage error rather than silently falling back- The default Sonnet 4.6 model uses Adaptive thinking by default;
--think is the explicit switch but Claude may still invoke thinking for complex prompts even when not requested
- Adaptive-thinking and file-thumbnail widgets render duplicated label paragraphs (
Thought process / View uploaded image) at the top of the response; these are stripped automatically so the row value is the actual answer
- File upload is constrained by the daemon HTTP body limit (1 MB;
src/daemon.ts:152); files up to ~700 KB raw work reliably, larger files (e.g. high-res images) may fail with ECONNRESET
- Long responses (code, essays) may need a higher
--timeout
