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.

WebFetch subagents keep a list of the files they saved

You'll notice
Useful2 Signal2
Web Fetch

Fetch tasks list the files they saved instead of pointing at a made-up output file.

What

Tasks run by the web-fetch agent now record the files they wrote, seeded from the session output directory. For those tasks the task notification and background-task views stop pointing at a synthesized agent output file, and a note explains "…and N more saved files, not listed to keep this note short".

Details
  • A companion flag re-admits the WebFetch tool into the tool sets given to forked skills.
  • What causes the web-fetch agent type to be used in the first place is decided elsewhere in the build.

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