What
When you start a cloud session, which is a Claude Code session that runs on a remote machine instead of your own computer, a checklist shows progress while that machine is prepared. If you type a message and press Enter during this time, Claude Code can now hold the message and send it as soon as the session opens.
Before, Enter was ignored and you were told the message was 'Not sent'. The hint under the prompt now either shows a key combination that sends on Enter or says 'Your message will be sent once the session opens'. Claude Code also records usage data when a message is queued this way.
Why
If you start typing while the cloud machine is still being set up, your first message is no longer lost.
