KKC session has progressed:

**Current Phase:** Phase 5 - Prose polish

Claude just checked how many times "silence of three parts" appears in the manuscript - it's 0 times (good, reducing repetition).

**Status:** "Polishing prose..."

**Next up:** Verification - Run all acceptance tests

So the manuscript rebuild is complete, and Claude is now polishing the prose to reduce metaphor repetition.

**KKC Session Status:**

**Current Phase:** Phase 5 - Prose polish

Claude is working on reducing metaphor/silence repetition. Just checked:
- "silence of three parts" appears: **0 times** ✅

**Status:** Polishing prose...

**Next:** Verification - Run all acceptance tests

The chronological manuscript (143 chapters, 419k words) is complete and now being polished for better prose quality.


[Telegram Skinny id:6558388607 2026-01-27 02:02 UTC] So are you connected to the session?
[message_id: 337]


The user is asking if I'm connected to the KKC session. I need to be clear about what "connected" means.

I am NOT directly connected to the Claude Code session in tmux - I'm using tmux capture-pane to scrape the screen output. This is:

1. Reading what's visible on the screen
2. Not directly communicating with Claude Code
3. Cannot send commands directly or interact in real-time
4. Just monitoring output

The user initially asked if I could connect to the actual Claude Code session. I explained that:
- Claude Code can run as an MCP server with `claude mcp serve`
- But the KKC session is running as an interactive CLI, not in MCP mode
- I offered to restart it in MCP mode but they didn't respond to that offer

So I should be honest: I'm monitoring via tmux output scraping, not directly connected.

No, I'm **not directly connected** to the Claude Code session. I'm **monitoring via tmux screen scraping**:

**What I'm doing:**
- Using `tmux capture-pane` to read what's visible on screen
- Cannot send commands or interact directly
- Just reading output passively

**What I could do (if you want):**
1. **Restart Claude Code in MCP mode** - Then I could connect directly via stdio MCP and send/receive messages
2. **Send keystrokes via tmux** - Limited control (like `Ctrl+C`, typing commands)
3. **Continue current monitoring** - What I'm doing now

**To connect directly, you'd need to:**
- Stop current Claude Code (`Ctrl+C`)
- Run: `claude mcp serve` in that tmux session
- Then I could use mcporter or direct stdio MCP to connect

Want me to restart it in MCP mode so I can interact directly? Or is current monitoring fine for your needs?
