What
When Claude Code turns a conversation transcript into a response, it used to treat an API-error message and normal assistant text as mutually exclusive: it would show one or the other. Now it tracks them separately and can include an API-error note together with normal text in the same response.
Why
This means a response that includes some usable text alongside an error no longer has to hide the error or drop the text; both can now surface together.
