What
Claude Code can run agents in an automated mode where a safety monitor checks each action an agent takes. That monitor keeps a cached state (called mintedOnContinue) tracking that an agent was cleared to keep going. Now, whenever the monitor's decision on an action is anything other than "continue," that cached state for the agent is explicitly cleared. This applies when using Anthropic's first-party API (behind a gate referred to internally as Ey).
Why
This stops a stale "cleared to continue" state from lingering after the safety monitor has actually flagged or stopped an action, so a later check can't mistakenly rely on outdated permission.
