When reviewing that hand-back, Claude Code now looks at the position of every other tool call (each action the agent took), instead of only the time of the last one. It uses this to judge whether the hand-back was refused or the final response was proper.\n\n**Why**\n\nIt changes when a hand-back is flagged in review.\n\n- Area: Workflows\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
