A finished MCP background task now stays listed for thirty seconds so you can read it.

What

A completed MCP background task is no longer evicted the moment it finishes; both the periodic sweep and the explicit single-task evict skip it until 30 seconds after its end time, so you can still open and read it.

Details
  • The 30 second retention is unconditional in the eviction path, with no flag or setting.
Evidence

if (o.type === "mcp_task" && (o.endTime ?? 0) + YS > Date.now()) return r;

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