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.
