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.

Claude Code v2.1.246

Background task bookkeeping distinguishes failed from unfinished

Under the hood
Useful3 Signal2
Background Tasks

A failed background task is no longer indistinguishable from one still running.

What

The helper that folds a task event log into results now also returns the set of tasks whose entries were failures, so a task that failed is no longer indistinguishable from one that simply has no result yet.

Evidence

failed

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