Source Intelligence

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.

Rewinding a remote session now stops the background agents it rewound past

You'll notice
Useful3 Signal3
Sessions

Rewinding a remote session now stops the background agents started inside the rewound span.

What

Before a rewind, Claude walks the task list to work out which local background agents were started inside the span being rewound, stops them, and emits their completed, failed or stopped status. Any permission prompt left parked is retired with a new reason of rewind rather than lingering.

Details
  • Agents rooted at an in-process teammate are skipped rather than stopped.
  • Whether the running/requires-action gating applies is decided by the existing environment variable CLAUDE_CODE_BG_TASKS_REPORT_RUNNING; unset keeps the older behaviour path. That variable is now read in several more places than before.
Evidence

parkedPermissionReason: "rewind"

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