If you type a message while Claude is still working, Claude Code queues it. Sometimes a queued message can interrupt a running tool once a short grace period ends. That grace period used to end on a simple count.
Now, when a queued message is ready, Claude Code can also start a timer whose length comes from the remote setting tengu_splendid_puddle, up to a cap. While the timer runs, and every tool still running is of one particular kind, the grace period is not treated as over. The setting falls back to 0, which means no timer and no change.
This gives finer control over when a message you type mid-task cuts into a tool that is already running.
