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.

Aborting no longer kills shells that were meant to keep running

Shell Commands

Aborting a command that should move to the background now leaves the shell running.

What

When a command is aborted for a reason that is supposed to move the shell into the background, the process is now left running instead of being killed.

Details
  • A shared check decides, from the abort reason and the kind of caller, whether the shell should be backgrounded; the caller kind defaults to the inner shell.
  • The same check gates two other places that stop shells.
