What probably matters to youSection of the release

The predicate that decides whether background work gets handed off to the next process on exit now requires CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_BG_EXIT_HANDOFF to be unset before allowing handoff. Setting the variable disables the handoff behavior described previously for backgrounded work on process exit, restart, or update.
