Claude Code v2.1.116 20 Apr 2026

Improved Update/Restart Messaging

When Claude Code updates while background jobs are running, the message now reads: "Claude daemon will restart for the upgrade once background jobs finish" instead of the previous "Signaled claude daemon to restart", providing clearer context.

Evidence

Restart message (search for "Claude daemon will restart for the upgrade") — line ~643713

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
