Internal telemetry now classifies where each message came from into one of nine categories

What

Claude Code now sorts every incoming message into one of nine origin categories for internal telemetry: human, sdk, scheduled, task_notification, auto_continuation, peer, host_synthetic, system, or unknown. It works this out from more detailed signals than before, including what woke the session up and specific origin types like a scheduled trigger, a peer sending a message, or a relay between projects.

Why

This is internal bookkeeping used for telemetry rather than something a user configures directly. Sorting messages this precisely lets Claude Code's own systems tell apart, for example, a message a human typed from one generated by a scheduled job or forwarded from another session.
