That’s a hallucination. All they did was hide thinking by default. Quick Google search should easily teach you how to turn it back on (I literally have it enabled in my harness).

I am using Copilot in VSCode and it does stream the thinking output to me. At some point it will say something like "Implementing changes..." similar to "Thinking...", but there is no content to expand. ChatGPT and local models always push the code changes in small chunks. Claude used to and at some point changed.

Is anything that might be wrong or misinformation now a “hallucination”?

Can you blame them for believing thinking tokens are completely hidden now? Anthropic has changed the way to see it 3 times in 3 months with no warnings or visible upgrade path. First it was shown by default, then you had to press control+o, then control+t, then it got locked behind a settings.json, then you had to manually enable with --verbose, now it's some random ENV var.

Whoever is their product manager should be embarrassed at the UX they provide.

Product managers reduce velocity. The behavior changes every time another instance of Claude Code thinks something else would be a marginal improvement, with no further oversight or thought put into it.

I’ve started co-opting it specifically in situations where someone claims something untrue that is both easy to verify and stated confidently, but also ostensibly isn’t intentionally spreading misinformation.
