Profiled where the ~6s actually went, and it was not where I assumed. Haiku defaults to extended thinking, so it spent 225 output tokens and 1.9s deliberating before emitting an 80-character answer about the height of a tower. MAX_THINKING_TOKENS=0: 43 output tokens, time-to-first-text 2657ms -> 1122ms, wall clock 5.7s -> ~2.4s, answer unchanged. Two things measured NOT to be the bottleneck, recorded in the comment so nobody optimises them later: process startup (0.12s boot plus 28ms to fire the request, so a warm/persistent process saves nothing) and prompt size (184 input tokens, no bloat to trim).

# Instant-answer backend for the quickshell launcher on the desktops:

|
#
|
|
# Runs through Claude Code so it draws on fred's existing subscription —
|
|
# no API key, no separate billing. The trade is latency: Claude Code boots
|
|
# a Node process per question, so this takes ~6s against the raw API's
|
|
# ~1s. The launcher therefore shows its Wikipedia answer first and lets
|
|
# this one supersede it when it lands.
|
|
#
|
|
# Reads the question from stdin — passing it as an ssh argv element would
|
|
# send it through the remote shell for a second round of word splitting.
|
|
#
|
|
# Every flag here is either isolation or trimming the invocation:
|
|
# --safe-mode no CLAUDE.md, skills, hooks, plugins, MCP or
|
|
# custom agents. Critical for correctness, not
|
|
# just speed: fred's ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md tells
|
|
# Claude to answer in caveman mode, which would
|
|
# otherwise leak into launcher answers. Auth
|
|
# keeps working normally, which is what makes
|
|
# the subscription usable here.
|
|
# --no-session-persistence writes no transcript, so launcher questions
|
|
# never appear in /resume or any project history
|
|
# --tools "" no tools at all: nothing to load, and it
|
|
# cannot touch the filesystem or network
|
|
# --disable-slash-commands no skill resolution
|

# --strict-mcp-config ignore every MCP config (none supplied)
|
|
# --system-prompt replaces the full Claude Code system prompt
|

# with one line, rather than appending to it

# --permission-mode dontAsk never block waiting on a prompt nobody sees
|

# --model claude-haiku-4-5 smallest model — a one-line fact needs no more
|

|
# more, but its auth is "strictly ANTHROPIC_API_KEY or apiKeyHelper (OAuth
|
|
# and keychain are never read)" — i.e. it cannot use the subscription.
|
|
#
|
|
# STDOUT is the launcher's channel: the answer, or nothing at all if the
|
|
# call fails or the model doesn't know — silence is what the launcher
|
|
# reads as "keep the Wikipedia answer". Every reason for that silence goes

# to STDERR instead, which the launcher discards and a human running
