What
Messages and commands you type while Claude is still working wait in a queue, and each one has a priority. When one of them is raised to run right away, Claude Code now notes the priority it had before. If it had none, it records it as "next" in line. Previously the old priority was simply overwritten.
Why
Because the original priority is kept, it can later be put back or reported.
