What

Assistant message data can now include a narration_hint field set to hidden or faint. It tells a renderer how to display the trailing " · summarized" hint that appears on narration-summary thinking blocks (condensed summaries of Claude's reasoning). This field is sent only to the VS Code extension.

Why

This gives the VS Code extension finer control over how prominently it displays the summarized-thinking indicator.
