Its description, the text Claude reads about the tool, now has a second wording about when a monitor expires. Under some condition, it says that if a monitor stops after Claude's reply and before it expires, Claude learns only that it stopped, and only with your next message. Before, there was only the wording about re-arming the monitor.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis changes what Claude expects to hear about a monitor that ends between turns.\n\n- Area: Monitor Tool\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
