65On Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Opus 5.5, server-side context management never invalidates thinking blocks. Client-side edits to earlier turns can invalidate the thinking blocks in every later assistant turn. For new accounts created on or after August 31, 2026, a request that replays an invalidated block is rejected unless you opt into dropping it. See [Keeping the prefix unchanged](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/preserved-thinking#prefix-check).
