What
When Claude Code reports how much of the context window (the space available for the conversation) has been used, it now waits for that report to finish, and wraps it in error handling, before moving on to idle-report and cost-push logic. Previously this report was fired off without waiting for it to complete.
Why
This prevents a context-usage report from silently failing or racing with the logic that runs after it, making that sequence more reliable.
