What
A background cloud task now uses a fixed title of "Background task" and the branch name claude/background-task instead of asking the model to invent them, so it starts sooner.
Details
Chosen when the session being created is a background task, unless an existing outcome branch is being reused, in which case that branch is kept.
Not behind a flag; decided at session creation time.
Evidence
claude/background-task
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
