+# Bug 147: Activity indicator still only shows Thinking despite bug 140 fix
+
+## Description
+
+Bug 140 fixed the frontend display condition but activity labels still never appear. The likely root cause is that Claude Code stream-json PTY output does not emit raw Anthropic API format events (content_block_start with type tool_use) inside stream_event wrappers. The handle_stream_event function in server/src/llm/providers/claude_code.rs line 486 only matches content_block_start, which is the Anthropic streaming API format. Claude Code CLI stream-json may use a different event structure for tool calls.
+
+Investigation needed:
+1. Add temporary logging in process_json_event (line 327) to dump all event types received from the PTY
+2. Determine the actual event format Claude Code uses for tool calls in stream-json mode
+3. Add matching for that format in handle_stream_event or process_json_event to fire activity_tx
+
+Key files:
+- server/src/llm/providers/claude_code.rs line 327: process_json_event
+- server/src/llm/providers/claude_code.rs line 486: handle_stream_event
+- server/src/http/ws.rs line 251: activity callback wiring
+
+## How to Reproduce
+
+1. Rebuild both frontend and backend from master (which includes story 86 and bug 140)
+2. Open web UI chat
+3. Send a message that causes tool use (e.g. ask agent to read a file)
+4. Watch the activity indicator
+
+## Actual Result
+
+Indicator always shows Thinking and never changes to tool activity labels like Reading file or Executing command
+
+## Expected Result
+
+Indicator should cycle through tool activity labels as the agent calls tools
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
