Source Intelligence

DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

A wait flag runs through prompt submission with nothing setting it

Not switched on
Useful1 Signal3
Prompt Queue

Prompts can carry a wait marker that queues behind the current turn, but nothing sets it.

A wait flag runs end to end through prompt submission with no caller setting it in this build.

What

Submitting a prompt can now carry a "wait" marker that follows the prompt through queuing and into the query pipeline, and that lets an otherwise-empty submission through instead of being discarded as a no-op. Nothing in this build turns it on, so no user action reaches it yet.

Details
  • The flag defaults to false at every point it is read.
  • Without it, an empty submission is still dropped and recorded as an empty prompt submit.
Evidence

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