Unclear What this handler does and what turns its switch on is not established.
What
Claude Code has a third handler for queued work, alongside the existing two. It looks at running tasks, whether a foreground tool call has been listed, and whether a decision from you is pending. A switch controls whether it runs.
Why
This adds a new way of working through queued items that holds back while you still have a decision to make.
