Under the hood
Artifact comment auto-reply logic reworked with additional checks including a 'fork' gate
What
The logic that decides whether Claude automatically replies to a new comment on an artifact has been reorganized into new helper functions. It now runs several additional checks before deciding to auto-reply, including, in some cases, an extra asynchronous check tied to forking. If that check fails, Claude Code logs a fork_gate_error telemetry event instead of replying.
Why
This adds more conditions that must pass before Claude auto-replies to an artifact comment, likely to avoid auto-replying in situations (such as certain forked artifact states) where it shouldn't.
Something disagreesSomething we can check disagrees with this entry, or the writer said they could not settle it.
The writer flagged doubt
The finding does not explain what the individual checks (na, Wt, st, Un) verify or what a 'fork' state means for an artifact in this…
