What
Claude Code can hold back some tools and load them only when they are searched for. These are called deferred tools. If the main conversation has already asked for deferred tools, a later request now waits until that first request is done and then follows on from it. Before, Claude Code emptied the list of pending tool names in that case.
Why
This changes the order and timing in which deferred tools become available during a conversation.
