What

The exit-to-background dialog and the fork/background confirm dialog now count workflow subagents separately and tell you that any still running will restart from the beginning, while finished ones are kept. The confirm button label changes to match.

Details
  • The count is also reported in telemetry as a new field, workflow_agent_count.
  • Appears wherever workflow subagents exist in the session.
Evidence

workflow_agent_count

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