What's Wrong?

Description

Claude Code adds a 2-space indent to all code block content and hard-wraps at ~80 characters. When copying commands from the terminal, these artifacts get included, breaking pasted commands.

The Irony

I am posting this bug report verbatim as Claude Code output it - complete with the 2-space indent and 80-char wrap. The bug demonstrates itself.

Environment

• Claude Code version: [run claude --version]
• Terminal: [your terminal]
• OS: [your OS]

Related Issues

#4686, #6827, #4004

What Should Happen?

Expected Behavior

Either:

• No indent in code blocks
• Soft wrap instead of hard wrap
• Or: a config option to disable this formatting (--no-indent, --no-wrap, etc.)
