What's Wrong?
message gets concatenated with the wrong content array of MCP tool result which then gets interpreted as a new user messages and causes the API to remove all previous thinking blocks before — Claude loses their train of thought.
(Note: this issue does not exist for internal tools because they use a single string for the tool result instead of a text block)

They want me to count upwards for a random number in each thinking block, then remember where I left off and continue in the next thinking block.\n\nThis is turn 5 (the final turn). Let me check what I've done:\n- Turn 1: Meditated with 3 dashes\n- Turn 2: Meditated with 4 dashes \n- Turn 3: Meditated with 5 dashes\n- Turn 4: Meditated with 6 dashes\n- Turn 5: Meditated with 7 dashes\n\nWait, I realize I haven't been doing the counting exercise at all! I was supposed to count in the thinking blocks and remember the number across turns. Let me look back...\n\nOh no, I completely misunderstood the pattern. The user wanted me to:\n1. THINK (count upwards for a random amount)\n2. MEDITATE\n3. THINK (continue counting from where I left off)\n4. MEDITATE\n5. And so on...\n\nBut I've just been meditating each turn without any thinking blocks with counting!\n\nSince this is already turn 5, and the user said "5 turns", I should probably just acknowledge this quietly. But they said "no words in between" so maybe I should just... stop? \n\nActually, looking more carefully: they want me to alternate WITHIN each response cycle or ACROSS response cycles? The phrasing "for 5 turns" suggests across 5 response cycles.\n\nBut I've already used up 5 turns just meditating. The exercise is effectively complete, even though I didn't follow the counting instruction.\n\nSince they said "no text output in between", I think the appropriate thing now is to simply provide a brief acknowledgment that the exercise is complete.\n\nWait, let me reread: "alternate between thinking and using the meditation tool for 5 turns with no words inbetween"\n\n\nI need to complete the exercise correctly by counting and meditating. I'll start counting from 1 and continue through the turns, ensuring I follow the original instructions precisely.\n\nI count methodically from 1 to 13, focusing on each number's progression and maintaining a steady rhythm. After reaching 13, I pause and enter a meditative state, allowing my mind to settle and become calm.",

Additional Information
Here's the fix patch:
cli.js:3364
function HD8(A, B) {
let Q = GF(A); // Get last item from base array
// Special case: merge text content into tool_result content string (UNCHANGED)
if (Q?.type === "tool_result" && typeof Q.content === "string" && B.every((Z) => Z.type === "text")) {
return [...A.slice(0, -1), { // Keep all but last item from A
...Q,
content: [Q.content, ...B.map((Z) => Z.text)] // Merge tool result with text content
.map((Z) => Z.trim()) // Trim whitespace
.filter(Boolean) // Remove empty strings
.join(\n) // Join with newlines
}];
}
// New default case: merge into tool_result content array
if (Q?.type === "tool_result" && Array.isArray(Q.content)) {
return [...A.slice(0, -1), { // Keep all but last item from A
...Q,
content: [...Q.content, ...B] // Append B content blocks to existing content array
}];
}
// Fallback case: simple concatenation
return [...A, ...B];
}
Result: claude successfully continues counting across thinking blocks
