Unclear What Claude Code does differently with a prompt it treats as a mid-turn host prompt is not stated.

What

Environment variables are settings you set in your shell before starting Claude Code. Several were added to the lists of variables Claude Code passes along or accepts (its allowlists):

The captured SendMessage tool description for this release is unchanged.

Why

You can now opt out of subagent handback with CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_SUBAGENT_HANDBACK. The handling of mid-turn host prompts stays off unless its switch or CLAUDE_CODE_DEEP_TWILIGHT turns it on.

tengu_lively_waffle On for this account, and not off by default

The flag server returned on for the one account this site reads, and nothing in this release compiles it off by default. The compiled default is shown below, and says which it is when we cannot read one: a fifth of gates compile in a string or a number rather than on or off, and most published releases have no gate table behind them at all. No client can see what the server returns for your account.
