What
Claude Code uses a classifier, an automatic step that labels each thread of a project with a status. It has two new rules for threads that belong to the same project. When a thread has a question or request waiting for you in a different linked thread, that thread is only waiting. It is never marked as any of these:
blocked
needs_reply
needs_approval
When a conversation is resumed, the classifier now also starts from saved status information instead of from scratch.
Why
This changes the status a thread shows, such as in Remote Control or a project's job list, so one waiting question does not make several threads look stuck.
