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.

Claude Code v2.1.228

Sessions are held for a finished task's follow-up turn

You'll notice
Useful3 Signal2
Background Tasks

A session stays alive for the follow-up turn after a background task finishes.

What

A session with no running background tasks but a finished one whose follow-up turn has not happened is no longer retired out from under that turn.

Details
  • The retire timer logs and holds the session in that case instead of releasing it.
  • The status line reports a finished background task awaiting its follow-up turn.
Evidence

retire time passed while a finished background task's follow-up turn is pending

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