- Session creatures use distinct states for permission requests, questions, completion, errors, and stopped processes.
Field notes
Claude Code hooks send prompt, tool-call, and stop events to a local agent at 127.0.0.1; a WebSocket connection carries state to the native overlay. The app can pin stopped sessions, reopen them in Claude Desktop, and tuck the strip offscreen while its tab continues blinking for attention. The page reports about 0.5% of one CPU core and 13 MB of memory during animation.
