What probably matters to youSection of the release
Async REPL dispatch with background poll delivery is behind a build-time constant that is false here.
What
The REPL tool can now hand a script to a dispatcher, return a receipt immediately and deliver the real result later as a background poll event. The gate is a build-time constant that is false here, so every call runs the synchronous path.
Details
The tool's output schema gained an asyncDispatched boolean.
There is a cap on how many dispatches can be outstanding; past it, further dispatches are refused.
Both the receipt and the refusal text point at a <event kind="repl-eval"> poll event, with the receipt assembled at runtime around the evaluation id and current queue depth.
Settle handling runs a PostToolUse pass over the deferred result, so hooks still see it.
Evidence
asyncDispatched
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
