What
A new backend configuration option that lets background agents run via a daemon process instead of tmux.
Usage
Configure in settings:
{
"backend": "daemon"
}Details
- Two supported values:
"tmux"(default) and"daemon" - When set to
"daemon", background agent sessions use a detached daemon process instead of creating tmux panes - Tmux remains the default; the daemon option provides an alternative for environments where tmux is not available or not desired

Evidence
Backend schema definition (search for backend: E.enum(["tmux", "daemon"]))
