When a quick check against the rules alone allows a reply, Claude Code now checks again with a full read. Before, the single quick check decided. The notice shown when it declines to reply now depends on more conditions. The hand-off to another agent also includes a hint about whether agents may hold comment threads.\n\n**Why**\n\nThe conditions for posting a reply nobody is watching have changed.\n\n- Area: Artifacts\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: yes"}
