What
When a teammate agent (an in-process helper working alongside the lead) goes idle, it can be flagged as owing the lead a notification. Claude Code now scans incoming messages for @-mentions, and if an idle teammate marked this way is directly mentioned by name, that pending-notification flag is cleared.
Why
This stops an idle teammate from sending an unnecessary "I'm idle" notification after it's already been addressed directly, keeping the conversation less noisy.
