Task queue dispatch gains internal hooks for deferred tool use and a new admission gate

What

The internal coordinator that decides which queued tasks to run next has two new controls:

  • a deferredToolUsePending callback, which can report whether a tool call is being held back (it defaults to always answering no)
  • a startGate.admits check, which now filters the list of follow-up tasks before they are added to the next batch to run
Why

This is internal plumbing for how Claude Code schedules and dispatches queued work. It does not change what users see directly, but it gives the scheduler finer control over when queued tool calls and follow-up tasks are allowed to proceed.

How sure we are
Something disagreesSomething we can check disagrees with this entry, or the writer said they could not settle it.
The writer flagged doubtThe finding does not say what triggers deferredToolUsePending or startGate.admits to actually withhold something in practice.
