The problem

Claude Code used to show a checklist that it ticked off step by step. After an update it's gone: no todo list, no `TodoWrite`, no `TaskCreate`, and Ctrl+T shows nothing.

That's intentional. From the [Claude Code 2.1.233 changelog](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md):

Todo/task-tracking tools (TaskCreate/Get/Update/List, TodoWrite) are no longer available on Opus 4.8, Sonnet 5, Fable 5, Mythos 5, and newer models; set `CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_TODO_TOOLS=1` to bring them back

Setting that variable is only half the fix. The tools come back as *deferred* tools: Claude sees their names but not their instructions until it loads them through tool search, so it usually doesn't use them. This repo covers both halves:
