Fleet view can now relaunch a background agent as a specific agent type after an update
The Fleet view (the screen listing background jobs/agents) now accepts a typedAgent value, which flows through to the helper that relaunches the Fleet UI after an app update. When relaunching, this is passed via a new --agent argument, alongside the existing cwdFilter and dispatchDefaults (with an inherited default permission mode stripped out).
This lets a background agent relaunched after an update keep running as the specific agent type it was dispatched with, rather than losing that setting across the relaunch.
The entry above is what we published on the day. These lines were added later, as Anthropic's own pages caught up, and they sit beside the original rather than replacing it.
--agent "$coordinator_id" \managed-agents/multiagent-orchestration see the edit
Anthropic's documentation has since written up --agent, on multiagent-orchestration.
Fixed claude agents losing --model, --effort, --permission-mode, --allow-dangerously-skip-permissions and --agent after an auto-update…
