What

When you press the left arrow to hand work off to background agents (helpers that keep working while you do other things), Claude Code carries your waiting prompts over. That carry-over has changed:

  • Prompts you had typed but that were taken back are now included and restored into your input as typed text.
  • The carry-over now also runs when the only prompts waiting are taken-back ones.
  • Claude Code now counts how many taken-back prompts were carried.
Why

This fixes edge cases where text you typed around the moment of a hand-off could disappear.
