Cross-session hold/drop/release notices now appear in the transcript itself, not just in debug logs

What

Claude Code can run multiple sessions that talk to each other, and sometimes a message from one session to another has to be held, dropped, or released (parked) rather than delivered right away. Previously, this only produced a debug log line. Now it's tracked more fully:

  • Hold/drop/release notices are written directly into the session's own transcript as a visible system message, marked as informational with a warning level, in addition to still being logged.
  • Message state changes (held, dropped, released) are tracked in a lookup table.
  • On startup, any messages that were already being held from before get their state seeded correctly.
Why

This means a user can actually see in their conversation when a cross-session message was held up or dropped, instead of that information only existing in hidden debug logs.
