A turn is one round of Claude working on a request. While it is active, the hint `enter joins the running turn` appears.\n\nWith this feature on in Claude Code's internal builds, background polling events that would wake Claude only start a new turn when they are not marked as not starting one.\n\n**Why**\n\nYou can add to what Claude is doing without waiting for the current turn to end.\n\n- Area: Message Queue\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 5\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: yes"}
