Hitting a rate limit can now open the options dialog for you, once per limit window.

What
When you hit a rate limit, Claude Code can now submit the hidden /rate-limit-options command for you instead of waiting for you to ask. It is keyed on the current reset time so it fires at most once per window, and is skipped in non-interactive runs and when notices are suppressed.
Details
- Wired into the transcript row alongside the existing auto-continue arming.
- Two runtime checks stand in front of it: one marks the reset key as consumed, and one returns false outright, so on this build the automatic open does not fire.
Evidence

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