"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.
