A model's citation markers (private-use characters around "cite") showed in replies, thread notes and the sidebar preview; they go. A thread's folded step chip said its raw step ("ran python3 - <<'PY' ...", "clicked (666, 115)"); it says what happened ("Looked things up online", "Clicked on the screen"), and the steps open as they were. lib/plain-words.ts, scripts/test-plain-words.mjs.

Review: "ran npm test" said "Set up the app" and "ran git commit" said "Looked at the code history". Those labels are now for installs and for git log, show, diff and blame; any other command says "Ran a command". Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Replies and a thread's steps showed text meant for the model or for developers: "□cite□turn0search3□" after a sentence, and step chips like "ran python3 - <<'PY' from urllib…" or "clicked (666, 115)". A client reads that as broken.
Citation markers (private-use characters around what the model cites) are dropped from bot text in chat, thread notes and the sidebar preview. A thread's folded step chip says what happened ("Looked things up online", "Worked on the files", "Clicked on the screen", "Read example.com"); opening it still shows every raw step.
lib/plain-words.ts. The wording follows how Grok Bot labels steps: short plain verbs, never the raw command.Proof
scripts/test-plain-words.mjs(new): 2 passed, including a code sample (cd .) left untouched.computer.tsx,mac-computer.tsx).next build,next start) of origin/main plus this and the other six PRs from the same review, with a local, uncommitted guard so the server never signs in or answers a call; a headless browser played a made-up copy of a shared workspace as a teammate with Write sees it.npx tsc --noEmit -p .and eslint on the touched files: clean.Review: Reviewed with sol-loop: 2 rounds with gpt-6.1-sol on high. Sol verdict: approved. Round 1 found "ran npm test" said "Set up the app"; fixed in the second commit (setup and history labels only for those commands). A nit (strip markers only from bot text) declined: people don't type those characters.
secscan: VERDICT: PASS. The npm audit's 1 critical and 8 high are already on main (package-lock.json unchanged).
One of seven small PRs from a review of Bops as BrandLord's staff would use it in a shared workspace; each stands alone.
