What

If Claude Code is watching a shared artifact for new comments and auto-replying to them, the "Background this session?" dialog now calls that out separately instead of folding it into the count of running tasks, and the confirm button reads "Background anyway (other tasks will be stopped)".

Details
  • Running comment monitors are excluded from the ordinary in-flight task count and get their own sentence in the dialog.
  • Forking a background session while keeping the parent alive strips the watch-artifact arguments from the child, so the same artifact is not watched twice.
Evidence

Artifact comment monitor keeps

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