Watches that are auto-replying to artifact comments now get a dedicated eviction tier and an explicit warning when evicted
What
When Claude Code has to free up space in its live-artifact-watch cap, it now treats supervisors that are currently auto-replying to comments as their own priority tier, separate from "explicit" and "most_recent_publish" watches.
- These auto-reply watches are now only evicted when a publish is actually happening (
forPublish) and only if they haven't already replied recently. - When one of these watches is evicted, the eviction message shown to Claude now says explicitly that auto-replying will stop until the artifact is next published, and adds advice not to re-watch the artifact unless the user asks.
- A new telemetry field records when this specific eviction case happens.
Why
Previously an auto-replying watch could be evicted like any other and Claude might not realize replies had silently stopped. The new tier and message make the behavior more predictable and keep Claude from re-watching artifacts it shouldn't.
