Some tool results contain images or documents. Claude Code can now record which of these have not been sent to the model yet. It can also replace their contents with a short placeholder. A remotely controlled switch can turn the recording off.\n\n**Why**\n\nIf this is used, the model may see a placeholder in place of an image or document in the conversation history.\n\n- Area: Context Management\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
