Claude Code v2.1.224

Drain loops should break on budget_reached, not just terminal stops

Under the hood
Useful2 Signal2
Agent SDK Docs

Skill guidance now says polling loops should break on any stop reason except requires_action.

What

The skill's client-patterns guidance changed its advice for loops that poll a session: break on any stop reason that is not requires_action, rather than only on terminal ones. budget_reached is listed as resumable only by changing the budget.

Details
  • The sample loop comment moved from // end_turn or retries_exhausted - both terminal to also name budget_reached.
Evidence

break // end_turn, retries_exhausted, or budget_reached \u2014 see list below

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