When COLORTERM=truecolor is inherited from the outer terminal (e.g., Ghostty), Claude Code's Ink UI tries to use truecolor mode which xterm.js doesn't handle correctly, causing rendering issues (gray/white backgrounds). This fix unsets COLORTERM in all PTY spawns so applications use standard 256-color mode which xterm.js fully supports. Fixes: xtermjs/xterm.js#484
Claude CLI v2.1.22+ now requires --verbose when using --output-format=stream-json with -p/--print mode. Without this flag, the CLI errors with: "Error: When using --print, --output-format=stream-json requires --verbose" This broke the Ralph Loop wizard and plan orchestrator agents.
