Instead of only saying the session 'does not keep track of new versions of this artifact,' it can say it 'does not keep track of new versions of this artifact or hear comments on it.' A new internal check decides which wording to show, based on whether something is in a 'live' state along with two other unnamed conditions.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis lets Claude Code more precisely describe what a watch session can and cannot detect, distinguishing tracking new versions from hearing comments left on an artifact.\n\n- Area: Artifacts\n- Tier: Nothing to try yet\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5\n- Present in the build but not switched on"}
