DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Background Process SIGTERM Escalation

When killing a background shell process with SIGTERM, if the process doesn't exit within 5 seconds, it's now automatically escalated to SIGKILL. This prevents zombie processes from lingering indefinitely.

Evidence

New SIGKILL escalation timeout in the pty manager (visible in the yM8 structural change adding a 5000ms timeout for SIGTERM→SIGKILL escalation)

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