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

Message forwarding to Claude Desktop stops itself looping

Under the hood
Useful2 Signal3
Claude Desktop

Message forwarding to Claude Desktop stops after a set number of self-forwards instead of looping.

What

An internal path forwards messages toward a Claude Desktop mailbox tool and counts how many forwards have happened since your last prompt. Once a self-forward cap is reached it stops and returns a paused result instead of forwarding indefinitely.

Details
  • The cap is a fixed internal constant with no setting to change it.
  • Active only when the Claude Desktop session-management send tool is present.
