Usage-limit reset messages now map limit types to session, weekly, or model-based reset scopes

What

Claude Code now has internal logic for deciding what to tell you when a usage limit resets. A new helper matches each type of usage limit (five_hour, seven_day, seven_day_opus, seven_day_sonnet, seven_day_overage_included) to a reset scope: session, weekly, or model-specific. A separate function then pulls the actual note text for that scope (note_${scope}) from remote configuration, and normally skips showing the note if the limit hasn't actually been used, unless that behavior (only_if_unused_reset) is overridden.

This logic sits behind a new gate called tengu_wise_bear_copy, whose rollout status hasn't been read yet.

Why

This lets Claude Code give more precise, scope-aware explanations of when a usage limit will reset (for example, distinguishing a per-session five-hour limit from a weekly or model-specific one) rather than one generic message.
