A new Notifications settings panel has been added, accessible from the REPL. It lets you configure:
- Channel: cycles through available notification backends (auto, iterm2, terminal_bell, iterm2_with_bell, kitty, ghostty, notifications_disabled)
- "Notify when Claude needs you" — get a notification when a background session is blocked waiting for input
- "Notify when Claude is done" — get a notification when a session finishes
The iterm2+bell combined mode (iTerm2 notification + terminal bell) is also available as a new channel option.
Evidence
Notifications UI (search for "Notify when Claude needs you" and "iterm2+bell")
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
