DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Claude Code v2.1.84

"You've Been Away" Re-engagement Prompt

What

When returning to a conversation after being idle, Claude Code now shows an interactive prompt suggesting you may want to start fresh.

Details
  • Displays idle time (e.g., "You've been away 2h 15m") and conversation token count
  • Three options: "Continue this conversation", "Send message as a new conversation" (clears context), or "Don't ask me again"
  • Helps save usage on stale conversations where starting fresh would be more efficient
Evidence

Re-engagement UI component (search for "You've been away", "Continue this conversation", "Send message as a new conversation")

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
