What
When opening the background-agents (fleet) view, Claude Code now runs an upfront check before showing the view. If that check fails, it prints an error message and stops without opening the view.
Why
This prevents the background-agents view from opening into a broken or unready state, showing an error instead so the underlying problem is clear.
How sure we are
Something disagreesSomething we can check disagrees with this entry, or the writer said they could not settle it.
The writer flagged doubtThe finding does not say what the check verifies or what conditions cause it to fail.
