We need a term that is stronger than dark pattern

Vantablack pattern?

I’m not a fan of using a brand name, but I chuckled!

Boris from the team here -- I don't think this is right. If you are able to repro in the Desktop app, could you comment back? I cannot repro.

Hey mate, just tried it again and the same issue.

Note: this is for Cowork, not sure if that makes a difference, I don't use the desktop app for coding.

Claude asked me a question at 12:05pm my time, came back at 12:40 and the question prompt disappeared and it spat back a message. Previously when I was writing a Google Doc, it would prompt me for questions, I'd come back and it would have timed out like this and just made a new version of the doc.

Oh yes, over this I also stumbled recently (with Claude CLI) and was annoyed much by it. Is there really no setting to turn it off?

There is for Claude Code[0], but not for Desktop. It's `askUserQuestionTimeout` and you can set it to `never`.
