I'd really love a proper CC GUI myself.

Sounds like you're thinking of scraping the raw terminal output. Consider using a terminal library (pyte[0] comes to mind) for interaction and processing the session files for tool use data, etc.

Yeah i've been thinking of hooks and reading the session file as possible ways for getting tool use data.

Also I managed to get a VSCode Claude Code wrapper working last night. It launches instances of browser-based VSCode (via Coder's code-server) with Claude Code plugin pre-installed, then hides all toolbars and opens the CC window using another bundled custom plugin. Still have a few integration problems to solve, but in theory this should be perfectly allowed by Anthropic, give you a pretty good UI, and still allow integration into an agent orchestrator using hooks/session files to get the agent data.
