Claude Code v2.1.246 25 Aug 2026

Idle notification moved into its own manager

Under the hood

Useful2 Signal2

Terminal UI not in their notes

The idle nudge now checks for open dialogs and pending resumes before pinging you.

messageIdleNotifThresholdMs

What

The "Claude is waiting for your input" notification is now driven by a dedicated manager that also checks for dialogs on screen, pending wake-ups and an armed quota auto-resume before notifying. The threshold setting messageIdleNotifThresholdMs and its 60000 ms default are unchanged.

Evidence

message: "Claude is waiting for your input",

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