The same paragraph shown plain, then bionified

```claude-bionify``` bolds the leading part of each word in Claude's streamed replies, giving your eye a fixation point per word. This is the bionic-reading technique, inspired by the eye-movement research showing that we read by fixating a single convenient position toward the start of each word, where its opening letters carry the most information for recognising it ([Rayner, 1979](https://doi.org/10.1068/p080021); [O'Regan et al., 1984](https://doi.org/10.1037/0096-1523.10.2.250)).

It only changes how text looks on screen. What gets saved to the transcript and what Claude reads stays the original, unbolded text, which you can reopen any time with the `Ctrl+O` transcript view.
