The message tells the caller that nothing was carried out and to retry so the watch is checked again.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis prevents Claude Code from silently acting on a stale or mismatched watch approval, instead surfacing a clear signal that the request needs to be re-checked before proceeding.\n\n- Area: Artifacts\n- Names: `watch_target_changed`\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
