As you continue, keep them updated when there's something to tell\". It is off unless `CLAUDE_CODE_SILENT_TURN_REMINDER` is set or the model in use declares support for it, and no model in this build does, so by default nobody sees it.\n\n**Details**\n\n- The turn threshold comes from `CLAUDE_CODE_SILENT_TURN_REMINDER_TURNS`, otherwise a remote setting with a fallback of 5 turns. The value must be at least 1.\n- At most 3 reminders are sent per quiet stretch.\n- The reminder type is now registered across the attachment renderer, the reminder-kind list and the transcript, and has its own telemetry event.\n- Whether a model declares the capability comes from server-supplied data, so it can be switched on remotely without a new release.\n\n**Evidence**\n\n`The user hasn't heard from you in a while. As you continue, keep them updated when there's something to tell`, `\"batching_reminder_sent\",`, `\"The user hasn't heard from you in a while. As you continue, keep them updated when there's something to tell \\u2014 a finding, a change of plan.\"`, `The user hasn't heard from you in a while.`\n\n- Area: Conversation\n- Names: `CLAUDE_CODE_SILENT_TURN_REMINDER`, `CLAUDE_CODE_SILENT_TURN_REMINDER_TURNS`\n- Tier: Nothing to try yet\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 4\/5\n- Present in the build but not switched on"}
