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.

Bash results say when a backgrounded command dies with its subagent

You'll notice
Useful3 Signal2
Bash Tool

Bash results flag a backgrounded command that gets killed when its subagent replies.

What

A backgrounded Bash command started by a synchronous subagent is killed when that agent gives its final response, and the tool result now carries a flag saying so. The flag is absent when the command survives, as it does in the main loop and in async subagents.

Details
  • The background notice text is now generated by one shared builder used by both the tool and its renderer.
Evidence

True when this backgrounded command is owned by a synchronous subagent and is therefore terminated when that agent gives its final response; absent when the command survives (main loop, async subagents)

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

Related

Other releases about the same thing. Found by shared names or similar wording; neither means one caused the other.
