What
The code that handles an MCP (Model Context Protocol) tool call that is waiting on user input was restructured. The onAwaitingUserInput callback, which starts and stops a background-eligibility timer while a tool call is paused waiting for the user, used to be written inline for each call path. It is now pulled out into a single standalone function that both the retry path and the pending-elicitation background-task path reuse. Several internal helper names were also renamed as part of the cleanup.
Why
This is an internal code-quality change with no identified effect on behavior; it just reduces duplication in how Claude Code tracks tool calls that are waiting on user input.
