Clearer guidance for messages sent to another session

Cross-Session Messaging

Claude is now told the recipient only sees your message's first line, so it writes self-contained openers.

What

When Claude sends a message to another session, the tool now tells it that the summary is only a label on your own transcript row and is never transmitted, and that the recipient's human sees only the first line of the message until they expand it, so the first line must be a self-contained sentence rather than a greeting or a bare @-mention.

Details
