Groundwork for taking back a sent message with Esc, not yet active

A new Esc take-back feature for rewinding sent messages is wired in, but its rewind steps are still empty, so nothing happens yet

What

Claude Code now includes the groundwork for taking back a message you just sent by pressing Esc. It does not work yet.

  • escTakeBack: a new part of each session is created and exposed under this name. It is told when messages are sent and when turns end. It uses the reason auto_restore_cancel.
  • Empty rewind: the parts that should actually rewind the conversation are empty. beforeInterrupt does nothing and returns, and the step that would use the sent messages, the rows on screen at the moment of Esc, the last seen message and the send count also has no body.
  • Related additions: the REPL (Claude Code's interactive prompt screen) gains restoreDraftsFrom alongside escTakeBack. The session controller gains askAboutSessionOwner, and loading a session to resume it now returns a sessionOwner field.

Why

Pressing Esc behaves as before for now. The bookkeeping for sent messages already runs on every turn, so this looks like a feature still being built and not yet switched on.
