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.

Worker shutdowns now carry a cause

Under the hood
Useful1 Signal2
Background Tasks

Background workers are now told why they are being stopped, such as a config reload.

What

Stopping a daemon worker sends a reason along with the shutdown, so a worker can tell an upgrade apart from a config reload. On reload the supervisor passes "reload" when the worker's session still exists in the new config.

Details
  • Restart now stops every worker first and then starts them back in a staggered sequence, rather than stopping and starting each one in turn.
Evidence

{ type: "shutdown", cause: t }

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