What
Before Claude uses certain tools, Claude Code can show a permission card, a request that waits for you to allow or deny the action. If new input arrives while that card is waiting and the card closes, Claude Code now records this so that Claude is free to ask to use the same tool again.
This applies only when the new input is one of these:
a prompt you send
a notification about a background task
It does not apply to tools run by agents, which are helper instances of Claude working on part of a task, or to some other tools.
Why
Moving on without answering a permission card no longer has to block Claude from asking for that tool later in the same session.
