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.

Claude Code v2.1.248 27 Aug 2026

Four new background notification titles

You'll notice

Useful3 Signal2

Terminal UI

Background notifications now cover sandbox network requests, managed settings, teammate setup and MCP input.

What

The titles shown in background notifications when something is waiting on you now cover sandboxed commands needing network access, managed settings review, teammate setup, and MCP server input.

Details

These are the desktop/terminal notification headings, not in-session prompts.

Evidence

"A sandboxed command needs network access"

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