Optimize Claude Code Transcript Monitoring with Append-Aware Cursors
A new approach to monitoring Claude Code transcripts uses lightweight discovery and append-aware cursors to avoid rescans of entire archives. This method reads only new or changed files, reducing steady-state work to scale with changes rather than total history. The technique preserves correctness by tracking offsets and handling truncation, making it suitable for large developer archives.
