Claude Code v2.1.293 ·

The opt-in tool behaviour now says whether Claude's turn should end

With CLAUDE_CODE_PEWTER_OWL_TOOL set, the affected tool path now reports whether the turn ends and what to tell you, not a response ID

Unclear What a reader who has set CLAUDE_CODE_PEWTER_OWL_TOOL sees differently when the turn now ends or carries on.

What

The behaviour you opt into with the environment variable CLAUDE_CODE_PEWTER_OWL_TOOL now gives a different kind of answer. It used to return a response ID, or nothing. It now returns either:

  • that Claude's turn should end, or
  • that the turn should carry on, together with a message for you.

The behaviour can also now be bypassed for particular calls. It still depends on CLAUDE_CODE_PEWTER_OWL_TOOL and on a remotely controlled switch, which falls back to on when the server sends nothing.

Why

This changes how the opt-in path signals the end of Claude's turn, the point where Claude stops and hands back to you.
