## Retrieval answer

## A clearer view of context is not the same as exact attribution

## A clearer view of context is not the same as exact attribution

The Turn Inspector mod makes Claude Code’s context window legible as a sequence of requests rather than a single growing token total. **The thesis: turn-level visibility can help developers diagnose context growth, but block-level token attribution remains an estimate.** The repository README describes a side pane with one row per model request, context-window usage, and expandable input/output blocks.

**The mechanism: the mod observes turn and tool-call hook events, while splitting request-level usage across individual blocks by estimated size.** The README says request input and output totals come from API usage and are exact; allocations to blocks such as thinking, text, and tool use are estimates because the engine reports one total per request. It also says the mod passes hook events onward unchanged. **Why now: as Claude Code sessions accumulate tool round trips and earlier turns, a per-turn view offers a practical way to inspect where context grows.** This is a visibility aid, not a change to the model’s context handling.

**The evidence boundary: these claims come from the mod’s own GitHub README; they do not establish independent accuracy testing or prove that every displayed block can be measured precisely.** For builders, **the first implication: use the view to locate likely sources of context growth, while treating block-level figures as directional rather than exact.** **The first watch condition: look for independent tests or revisions that change how resumed-session estimates and block allocations are calculated.**
