claude agents,claude attach,claude kill,claude logs) - Detach prompt: "Detach (keep running)" option to leave a session while it continues in the background
- Warning for running tasks: "Background anyway (tasks will be abandoned)" when background tasks are active

- Session status labels:
"idle — waiting for trigger","idle — attach to send a prompt","actively progressing on the task","stopped from session" - Exit command description updated: "Exit the CLI (in a background session: detach or stop)"
Evidence
Background session UI (search for "Background this session?", "Backgrounding", "Nothing to background yet", "Leave background session")
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
