Unclear What 'extended questions' refers to as a feature, and what the earlier field being replaced by focusView was, are not stated in the finding.

What

When a Claude Code session starts, the telemetry it sends now includes an extendedQuestions field, drawn from a new host launch option called extendedQuestionsEnabled. A focusView field also now appears in this telemetry, apparently replacing an earlier field used for the same purpose.

Why

This is internal telemetry rather than a user-facing change, letting Claude Code track whether the extended-questions option is enabled at session start.
