What

Pressing left arrow to send work to the background now opens a proper confirmation dialog instead of an overlay driven by the gesture's own state. The dialog shows a summary along with counts of carried-over items, parked monitors and workflow agents, and handles confirm, stay and cancelled outcomes.

Details
  • Always used when the left-arrow backgrounding confirmation path is reached; there is no flag.
