Unclear It is not clear what folding an event into the start of a turn does to what Claude sees.

What

Claude Code keeps a queue of things waiting to be passed to Claude. For certain poll events in that queue, it now marks them to be folded into the start of the next turn and no longer handles them the quick way a typed prompt is handled. The mark is cleared when the turn ends.

Why

This changes how these queued events reach Claude.
