A new mode changes the Monitor tool's instructions and its timeout notices. They say any monitor is likely stopped a few minutes after Claude replies, and tell Claude to say what you should check yourself.\n\nWhen a monitor times out in this mode, Claude is told to set it up again only if it has more to do before replying.\n\nThe standard Monitor tool description in this release is the same as in the previous capture; the new wording belongs to this separate mode.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis changes how Claude describes and restarts watches, so in this mode you may be asked to check on something yourself instead of Claude promising to keep watching it.\n\n- Area: Monitor Tool\n- Tier: Nothing to try yet\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
