What

Tools are the actions Claude can take, such as reading a file or running a command. Some tools are "deferred", meaning they are added to a session later instead of at the start. New internal bookkeeping records:

  • totalMs, firstStartMs and lastDeferredStartMs: timings for those deferred tools
  • deferredAddedNames: which tools were added later
  • a check for whether a tool was withdrawn (withdrawnThisLife) or already exists under a given name
  • noChannelTools: a new field in the record of declared tools
Why

This is internal record-keeping. The finding does not show a visible change for users.
