When a turn starts, Claude Code now records who started it: \"person\" when the latest real user message came from a human, and \"automatic\" otherwise, for example when Claude Code continues on its own.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis lets later events about a turn tell your prompts apart from automatic continuations.\n\n- Area: Telemetry\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5"}
