Claude Code records more when the API refuses beta tool-definition features

When the API refuses the header for the inline-tools or late tool-additions beta, Claude Code now records an extra piece of state

What

Claude Code can send tool definitions in two beta ways: inline, or added later in a conversation. A beta is a feature the API offers before it is final, switched on with a header sent with each request. When the API rejects either of these with the reason header_rejected, Claude Code already fell back and cleaned up.

It now also records an extra piece of state in that case. When tools are added later in a conversation, there is a second such record. The warnings you see are unchanged.

Why

Nothing new appears on screen. The change is in what Claude Code keeps track of after the API refuses one of these betas.
