What
When Claude Code restarts after a crash and recovers background tasks that were running before, the messages shown for them now add an explicit line stating the new status: 'They have been marked failed.' for tasks that didn't finish, and 'They have been marked stopped.' for tasks that may have been stopped mid-run.
Why
This removes ambiguity about what happened to a task that was interrupted by a crash, so it's clear the task's status has already been resolved rather than left hanging.
