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.

Claude Code v2.1.251

Dialogs can step aside for panels and for a draft you are typing

You'll notice
Useful4 Signal2
UI

Some dialogs now wait rather than interrupting an open panel or a draft you're typing.

What

A dialog can now declare that it should not interrupt an open panel, or should not interrupt when you have text sitting in the input box. Only dialogs that opt in behave this way.

Details
  • Two per-dialog flags, one yielding to panels and one yielding to a non-empty draft.
  • The selector that decides what the UI is currently showing now also recognises "progress" and "draft" alongside the existing legacy-dialog, panel and typing states.
Evidence

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