Unclear What the reprompt and interruption-streak fields actually trigger in the session isn't shown, only that the state now tracks them.
What
The internal state Claude Code keeps for a session's current goal gained two new tracked values: pendingGoalReprompt, and goalInterruptionStreak, each with matching getter and setter methods. This sits alongside the existing tracking for pending idle check-ins and worker check-ins, and the storage previously used for "worker check-in" was moved to a new internal slot.
Why
This lays groundwork for Claude Code to notice when a goal keeps getting interrupted and to re-prompt about it, though the finding doesn't show the resulting behavior yet.
