U7 was flagged "manual GUI capture / not .tape-scriptable", but Claude Code is a TUI in a real terminal, so VHS drives it. New media/engine/claude-code-client.tape starts a loopback write-enabled master, registers it with `claude mcp add --transport http --scope local`, launches the Claude Code TUI with a search -> think -> commit_note prompt, and uses Wait+Screen for latency tolerance. Setup (materialize -> init -> serve -> mcp add) is smoke-tested. The visible TUI section is render-PENDING: a standalone `claude` returns 401 in the build env (the agent session's Anthropic auth is a harness-managed OAuth token, not reusable by a subprocess). Render after `claude login`; model wording is non-deterministic so re-render until clean, then frame-review + sign off media/.review-log.md. connector-montage/README.md §2 and the review-log row updated to reflect scripted (render-pending-auth), replacing the stale "not .tape-scriptable" note.
