Claude Code has an instruction telling Claude that text written between tool calls may not be shown to you. So answers, summaries and finished work must go in the final message, with no tool calls after it. This text changed in this release. The instructions Claude was seen receiving did not change.\n\n**Why**\n\nWhere this applies, Claude's last message is meant to hold everything you need, rather than spreading it across the turn.\n\n- Area: System Prompt\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
