What
If watching an artifact was deliberately stopped earlier in the session, Claude can only re-arm auto-replies in a turn you initiated. Otherwise the call is denied, with instructions not to retry in the same turn and not to answer the pending comments itself as a workaround; it must list them for you instead. No flag, this is live for everyone.
Details
- The denial is recorded as a safety check that the automatic permission classifier cannot approve.
- Meta messages are marked as tool companions so they are not mistaken for a human-initiated turn.
- The watch consent prompt was narrowed from "notifications carry no content" to "republish notifications carry no content", now that comments can also wake a watch.
Evidence
Re-watching an artifact whose watch was stopped this session \u2014 only a request made in a turn the user started may ask for it, only a request made in a turn the user started may ask for it, Resuming auto-replies reverses a stop — only a request made in a turn the user started may ask for it
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
