 # Changelog
 
+## 0.31.0 (2026-10-08)
+
+- “I’ll handle it” has one meaning (guide 2.45): the person will handle it themselves. `hold`, the hooks, the wake mod
+  and the Codex wake say so in Pending You's own words, “The person will handle this themselves. Close it out: take no
+  action on it, leave things as they are (an email stays in their inbox, untouched), and don’t follow up or ask
+  again.”, then to ack_answer with an outcome like “Left to you”. The app no longer offers “Leave it”; a server since
+  guide 2.45 sends an older one as the same. `leave` now means only a to-do's Skip: “your person won’t do it”, don't do
+  it for them or follow up, and pick it up with an outcome like “Skipped”. Older command lines still stand down on
+  both.

 When you're at the terminal, Claude Code asks you there and puts the same question in Pending You at once; the
 first answer wins. If you answer in the terminal, it withdraws the card and the hold ends by itself.
