What

A backgrounded web fetch shows as "Fetching in background" rather than a generic agent row, and its finished result prints the fetched size and text instead of an agent duration and tool count.

Details
  • Reachable only when web fetches are run through the background agent path; nothing else in this build routes them there.
Evidence

Fetching in background

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