Unclear The finding does not say what produces a queueTranscriptOnly message or what user-visible effect this exclusion has.

What

Claude Code now recognizes a new kind of internal user message, marked with a queueTranscriptOnly flag, that is also treated as an interrupted-turn-style message. This new check runs alongside the existing turn-continuation checks and affects several places in how Claude Code decides whether a turn (one exchange between you and Claude) has finished:

  • the idle-check, which decides if Claude Code is currently waiting or working
  • the interrupted-turn detection, which decides if a turn was cut off
  • the main classifier that categorizes messages during this process
Why

Messages marked queueTranscriptOnly are now handled specially rather than being folded into the normal turn-completion logic, which should make Claude Code's sense of whether a turn is still in progress more accurate when this kind of message appears.
