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.

Queued prompts drain in batches instead of one at a time

Prompt Queue

Several queued prompts sharing a mode now drain together instead of one at a time.

What

When several queued prompts share the same mode, they are now dequeued as one batch rather than individually. The batch stops at the first prompt still awaiting screening or already submitted, and bash-mode and special entries still drain singly.

Details
  • Passive entries are excluded from a batch.
  • The count of pending prompts now also includes entries marked drain-only and entries awaiting screening, so the number shown reflects everything still queued.

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