Claude Code session: add red foreground to inline code

❯ Preformatted text with inline backticks is too subtle on a dark
background, let's make the foreground color red
⏺ I'll find where inline code styling is defined and update it to use red foreground color.

All tests pass and clippy is clean.

⏺ Committed successfully. For the transcript, you'll need to run /export in the CLI - I can't invoke that directly. Once exported, share the path and I'll create the gist, or you can run:
gh gist create <export_path>/conversation_full.md --public

⏺ It looks like /export is a built-in CLI command that I can't invoke programmatically. You'll need to run it yourself in the CLI, then give me the path and I'll create the gist for you.
❯ I think the other claude downloaded it as a python script and runs it
that way
⏺ I don't have access to that script, and I'm not sure how to replicate the export format. The simplest path forward is for you to run /export in the CLI - it'll take one second - then give me the path and I'll create the gist immediately.
