What

When a background monitor watching a running bash command times out, Claude Code used to show a flat "[Monitor timed out — re-arm if needed.]" message. Now the message reports how much time passed and how many events the monitor actually delivered before it expired, or says plainly that no events were delivered. Monitors also gained a way to flush pending events and count how many have fired, plus a "bounded"/"quiet" mode that can flush accumulated output right before the timeout fires instead of just cutting off.

Why

This gives a clearer picture of whether a monitor missed activity or simply saw nothing happen, making it easier to decide whether to re-arm the watch or move on.
