What

Selecting an MCP task in the background tasks dialog now shows a structured summary instead of falling through to a stored transcript: server, tool, status, status message, elapsed time and poll interval.

Details
  • The server's own task id is shown when it differs from the local one.
  • When a task is stopped, the server-reported status is shown alongside.
  • Notes when an elicitation dialog is open and awaiting you.
  • For tasks using the sep2663 protocol, notes that the work continues after you exit the session and the result arrives as a notification.
  • Task ids and names are stripped of control, format and variation-selector characters and truncated before display.
  • The detail screen has its own kill action and back handler; the kill call is now awaited and its errors routed to the error reporter rather than left floating.
Evidence

mcp-task-, runs on the server and survives exiting this session; the result arrives as a task notification

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