Unclear The finding does not say what puts the connection into held mode or when the queued messages are handled.
What
SSE is a kind of connection in which a server keeps sending messages to Claude Code. The part that handles it, SSETransport, has a new held mode. While it is held, incoming messages are saved in a queue, together with a policy reading and the time each one arrived, instead of being handled at once. Closing the connection now always goes through a single emitClose step.
Why
This is an internal change to how Claude Code receives streamed messages. Nothing you do or see changes because of it.
