Unclear What, if anything, a user sees differently from this change is not clear.

What

Claude Code now keeps a separate record of the stretch between sending its main request to the model and the reply starting to arrive. It decides that the main request is under way when either that wait is in progress or the reply is already streaming in. Before, it used a general "requesting" state for the first half of that check.

Why

The timing of status displays tied to a request starting could shift slightly.
