What
When you send a message while Claude is still working on a reply, Claude Code wraps it with extra text so the model knows it arrived mid-turn. That wrapping is now done by one shared step instead of a template written inline, for both your own messages and automatic continuation messages.
Messages from a plugin that are marked as coming from the user now go through the same step, instead of being wrapped as plugin messages.
Why
This changes how queued mid-turn messages are presented to the model, and makes plugin messages sent on your behalf look like your own.
How sure we are
Something disagreesSomething we can check disagrees with this entry, or the writer said they could not settle it.
The writer flagged doubtWhether the wording the model actually sees for mid-turn messages changed is not settled.
