What probably matters to youSection of the release

Every entry point sits behind a helper compiled to literal false, with no flag name.

What

New code captures a finished background shell task, including a tail of its output, and attaches it to the task notification so it can be delivered as a tool result, with a matching GetTask tool added to the worker tool list. Every entry point sits behind a helper compiled to a literal false in this build, so none of it runs here and there is no flag name to turn it on.

Details
  • A withdrawal hook consumes the queued notification when the snapshot is delivered as a tool result instead.
Evidence

GetTask

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