Small pasted text blocks can now stay inline in your message instead of always turning into a placeholder

What

When you paste a mix of content into Claude Code, text blocks that are short enough, under a certain character length and at most two lines, are now kept inline in your message text as-is. Previously, any such block would always be replaced with a placeholder reference to the pasted content. A line break is inserted after an inlined block if it's followed by another block or by more non-blank text.

Why

This avoids turning small, easily readable snippets into opaque placeholders, keeping short pasted text visible and readable directly in your message rather than hidden behind a reference.
