2727One more change alters the response shape without failing any request: [text between tool calls comes back in `thinking` blocks](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/models/sonnet-5-5/whats-new-sonnet-5-5#text-between-tool-calls). An application that streams that text to its users goes quiet between tool calls until it sets a `display` value that returns the text, or turns off up-front thinking with `between_tools`.
