Unclear The finding does not say what the launched background helper (lp()) actually does.

What

On startup, if the session wasn't opened via a deep link, no MDM (mobile device management) policy-helper configuration is present, and the worktree flag wasn't used, Claude Code now fires off a call to launch a background helper process, catching and ignoring any failure.

Why

This adds an automatic background process launch during ordinary startup in the conditions described, though the finding doesn't specify what the helper does.
