Several can be waiting at once, and they are now counted.\n\n- `CountedAsk` is a new way of tracking how many asks are pending. Each counted ask settles when its dialog is answered or dismissed.\n\n- `positionLabel` produces labels such as `1 of 3`, giving each dialog's place in the queue.\n\n- Dialogs for sandbox network asks now pass a `countedAsk`. The sandbox is the restricted space where Claude Code runs commands, and these asks come up when a command wants to reach a network address.\n\n**Why**\n\nWhen several approval prompts arrive together, this lets Claude Code tell you how many are left, so you know more are coming after the one in front of you.\n\n- Area: Permissions\n- Tier: Nothing to try yet\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5\n- Present in the build but not switched on"}
