Internal ChangesSection of the release
Unclear It is not certain this part of Claude Code is related to idle notifications at all.
What
A part of Claude Code that used to return a snapshot of work in progress now returns the messageIdleNotifThresholdMs setting, the delay before Claude Code notifies you that it is waiting.
Why
In practice the idle-notification delay may follow that setting in one more place.
