If the agent is waiting on a named person, that person counts as the user, so the session is shown as blocked. The setting that selects these instructions falls back to on when the server sends nothing.\n\n**Why**\n\nStatus summaries for chat-thread sessions should show more clearly when a session is waiting on someone.\n\n- Flag `tengu_velvety_aurora`: Not enough to say (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.295; this account: no value returned, anonymous baseline: no value returned, compiled default: on) These values were read against a different version of Claude Code, so treat them as the nearest reading available instead of one taken on this release.\n- Area: Chat Relay\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
