What
For some requests, Claude Code sends a backup copy if the first is slow and uses whichever answers. If one attempt now comes back successfully but does not pass the check for a proper answer while another attempt is still running, Claude Code keeps that result as a fallback. A later attempt that also fails the check no longer replaces it. This is on by default.
Why
This can change which response is used when a delayed backup request races the original.
