Claude Code v2.1.248 ·

Detection of "I'll check back later" phrasing in model output

Claude Code can now detect when the model says it will check back later.

What

Two case-insensitive patterns now look for deferral language: one for "I will / I'll / Will" followed by check back, re-check, poll, look again, retry, re-run or try again, and one for "Stopping here", "I've stopped here", "Parked the/this branch" or "Paused here". Both were empty no-op functions before, so this build is the first where they can match anything.

Details
  • The patterns are ungated where they are defined; what consumes a match is elsewhere in the build.
Evidence

Stopping here|I've stopped here|Parked (?:the|this) branch|Paused here

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