Group of 3 Under the hood
Resuming an agent now forwards owner messages via explicit live/snapshot modes, with simplified gating and new telemetry for edge cases
What
- The internal mechanism that forwards a user's ("owner's") queued messages into a resumed agent's conversation was simplified: it no longer checks a feature-enabled config plus an owner check, and instead takes explicit
resumedandcontextOnlyflags. WhencontextOnlyis set, the forwarded turns are relabeled with sourceunattributed. - Resuming an agent in the background now supports a
liveTranscriptsetting that picks betweenliveandsnapshotdelivery of forwarded messages; the forwarded content is spliced into the resumed agent's prompt before it continues. - A new telemetry event fires when an agent is resumed that's flagged as an "observer" but its observer status can't be confirmed, while the
CLAUDE_CODE_FORWARD_USER_INTENTsetting is active. Theagent_intent_forwardtelemetry event also gained aresumedfield.
Why These changes make it more reliable for messages you send while an agent is running to actually reach that agent when it resumes, distinguishing whether they should appear as a live conversation or a one-time snapshot, and flagging cases where Claude Code can't be sure whether an agent should be treated as an observer.
