What

A self-scheduled loop tick now has to tell the scheduler whether it changed anything, by passing a noop flag set true for a tick that did nothing. Quiet holds collapse in your terminal instead of scrolling past.

Details
  • Applies to the three continuation prompts used by self-scheduled (non-cron) loops; cron-driven loops are unchanged.
  • The scheduling tool already documented the flag: "Consecutive noop: true ticks are collapsed in the user's terminal view and tracked as a streak."
Evidence

and \noop\ set to \true\ if this tick changed nothing (or \false\ if it did)

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