Claude Code Projects (beta): thread waiting on user input shows as idle and sends no alert

What's Wrong?

I was working in a Claude Code project (beta). Claude stopped in a thread and waited for my input, but the thread showed its status as idle, not as waiting for input. I got no alert. I found out only when I opened the thread myself, so the work was blocked until then.

What Should Happen?

When a thread in a project needs my input, it should:

1. Show the status "waiting for input", not "idle".
2. Send an alert (notification or badge), so that I know to go back to it.

Error Messages/Logs

None shown.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open a Claude Code project (beta) in the Claude desktop app on macOS.
2. Start a thread and give it a task that needs my input partway through.
3. Move away from the thread while it runs.
4. Wait until Claude stops for input.
5. Result: the thread shows as idle and no alert appears.
