What
Claude Code processes 'name-only announcements' of tools (where only the tool's name is mentioned before full details are decided) based on a conversation state. The condition for processing these announcements previously required a readsTranscriptRecord flag to be set; that requirement has been dropped, so now only the declaredToolsDecided being false is checked.
Why
This simplifies the condition under which tool name announcements get processed, removing one of the two requirements that previously had to hold.
