When Claude refuses, the turn now ends rather than the tool loop grinding on.

What

When the model refuses, the assistant turn ends there instead of the tool loop continuing on. The refusal category is also carried through, so refusal telemetry reports why.

Details
  • Both streaming accumulators copy stop_details from the message delta onto the accumulated message.
  • The loop breaks when stop_reason is refusal.
  • stop_details.category feeds the existing refusal-fallback telemetry fields.
Evidence

stop_details

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