What

The dialog Claude uses to ask you a question was rewritten so that submitting, responding, cancelling, pasting an image, tab navigation and away-from-keyboard auto-advance all check an acceptance predicate first. A latch records who delivered the answer, user or AFK timeout, so an AFK timeout cannot land after you answer and an answer cannot double-fire.

Details
  • If the answer callback returns false the latch is released, and a single-question auto-submit rolls its selection back to none.
  • A new failure event, respond_build_failed, is emitted when building the "respond to Claude" result throws. It did not exist in the previous build.
  • Applies to everyone on this build; no flag involved.
