That carry-over has changed:\n\n- Prompts you had typed but that were taken back are now included and restored into your input as typed text.\n\n- The carry-over now also runs when the only prompts waiting are taken-back ones.\n\n- Claude Code now counts how many taken-back prompts were carried.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis fixes edge cases where text you typed around the moment of a hand-off could disappear.\n\n- Area: Background Agents\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
