So what exactly is the input to Claude for a multi-turn conversation? I assume delimiters are being added to distinguish the user vs Claude turns (else a prefill would be the same as just ending your input with the prefill text)?

No one (approximately) outside of Anthropic knows since the chat template is applied on the API backend; we only known the shape of the API request. You can get a rough idea of what it might be like from the chat templates published for various open models, but the actual details are opaque.
