Before, it chose between a compact form and a compact held form, using `CLAUDE_CODE_AUTO_MODE_THREAD_ASK_HELD` or a remote switch. When the held form applies, a second check now chooses between it and a new held \"own work\" form.\n\nThat second check uses the environment variable `CLAUDE_CODE_AUTO_MODE_THREAD_ASK_OWN_WORK` when it is set, and a remote switch otherwise.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis changes how the auto mode thread question is put together for projects.\n\n- Area: Auto Mode\n- Tier: Nothing to try yet\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
