DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Question Auto-Continue Timeout (askUserQuestionTimeout)

What

New setting that auto-continues Claude's questions after a configurable idle period, using whichever answers are selected so far.

Usage
{
  "askUserQuestionTimeout": "5m"
}
Details
  • Accepted values: "60s", "5m", "10m", "never" (default)
  • Only activates when explicitly set — defaults to never auto-continuing
  • Applies to questions Claude poses to the user during a session
Evidence

New settings field (search for "Idle time before Claude's questions auto-continue with any answers", "askUserQuestionTimeout")

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
