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.
