What
Claude Code includes new autonomous loop behavior that keeps timer-invoked work alive more persistently when there is still useful work to pursue.
Status
Feature-flagged
Details
- The behavior is enabled by
CLAUDE_CODE_LOOP_PERSISTENTor thetengu_kairos_loop_persistentfeature flag. - The new instructions tell the loop to broaden once before stopping when work appears quiet.
- This affects background/autonomous operation rather than normal interactive CLI usage.
Evidence
Persistent loop gate (search for "CLAUDE_CODE_LOOP_PERSISTENT" and "tengu_kairos_loop_persistent")
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
