What
/clear starts a new conversation with empty context. In one path, Claude Code resumes a session and starts a new conversation with /clear. Claude Code now checks whether that /clear was queued behind other work.
If it was queued, Claude Code waits until the clear actually applies. Only then does it add the note pointing back to the previous conversation. If the clear never applies, Claude Code reports that it was not applied. Before, it checked only once, straight after submitting the command.
Why
The "New conversation" notice could be lost when the clear had not run yet. Claude Code now waits for the clear before adding it.

Troubleshooting modified, high confidence
If the error comes back after a `/clear`, run [`/context`](/docs/en/debug-your-config) and compare the `Messages` row with the rows above it:see the edit

Orchestrate teams of Claude Code sessions modified, high confidence
* `/compact`, `/clear`, and `/rewind` act on the lead's conversation, so Claude Code asks you to confirm before running one of them from this view.see the edit

Create custom subagents modified, high confidence

Draw in the interface with a mod modified, high confidence
If your mod copies a saved value from `$.store` into `$.state` at `session.start`, it has to copy it again after `/clear`, `/resume`, or `/branch`. Those commands reset every `$.state` value to its default, and `session.start` doesn't fire…see the edit

Test a mod modified, high confidence
Each test starts with every `$.state` value at its default, which is how `/clear` leaves them. To test what your mod does next, skip `session.start`, fire `classic.SessionStart` with `source: 'clear'`, and check what your mod draws.see the edit

Escalate hard decisions with the advisor tool modified, high confidence
* If the API refuses the pairing of an advisor that Claude Code attached, Claude Code resends that request without the advisor. The conversation continues without one, so you see no error and get no advisor calls. If you then pick a differ…see the edit
