Claude Code v2.1.229 12 Aug 2026

Status object separates busy from a running query

Under the hood

Useful2 Signal2

The spinner status now distinguishes waiting on something from actually running a query.

What

The spinner status now carries a separate flag that is false while waiting on something and otherwise reflects whether a query is actually running, alongside the existing busy/idle state.

Evidence

working: e.isQueryActive

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