Sublime Text plugin: auto-log + trim the Claude Terminus buffer to fix scrollback bloat

[dpc00]

If you run Claude Code inside a Sublime Text Terminus tab, the buffer grows without bound over a long session. After enough conversation the scrollback becomes unusable — jumping entire screens on a single pixel of scroll bar movement.

This single-file Sublime Text plugin solves it silently:

• Every 4 seconds it appends any new text from the Claude tab to a daily log file at ~/.claude/conversation_logs/claude_YYYY-MM-DD.log — so nothing is lost.
• • A command (ctm_trim_now) removes lines from the top of the buffer in batches, logging each batch before deletion, and adjusts Terminus's scroll offset so the view doesn't jump.
    Once installed, the problem disappears and you stop thinking about it.

Requirements: Sublime Text 4, Terminus package, Claude Code. The plugin looks for a Terminus tab named exactly "Claude".

Drop claude_tab_manager.py into your Sublime Text User package folder (Packages/User/).
