A turn is one round of you sending a message and Claude responding. The check that decides whether a tool call is denied, or whether the run is stopped altogether, now records the turn number with each decision.\n\n**Why**\n\nIn practice, repeated denials may now be counted with the turn they happened on, rather than across the whole run.\n\n- Area: Permissions\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
