Unclear What the new condition checks, and so whether ultrathink now behaves differently, is not stated.

What

At the start of each turn, Claude Code runs a check on your prompt. That check now knows whether you typed the keyword ultrathink, and it has a new final condition. Before, an earlier condition had to pass before the check ran at all. That earlier condition has been removed.

Why

This can change when ultrathink takes effect.
