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.

--bg / --pool Conflict Error Message Improved

What

The error shown when combining --bg with another backend flag now distinguishes between --pool and --cloud.

Details
  • Using --bg with --pool: "Use claude -p '<task>' --pool <pool_id> directly to start a session on the pool."
  • Using --bg with --cloud: "Use claude --cloud '<task>' directly to start a cloud session."
Evidence

Updated error message function (search for "--bg and --pool are different backends")

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