What
Claude Code has a startup check that decides whether to start capturing terminal input very early, before the app is fully ready. That check now also skips capture when the process was started as an agents.json invocation, joining the existing exclusions for MCP-serve, plugin-eval, and remote-control launches.
Why
This avoids grabbing terminal input in a launch mode where doing so isn't appropriate, matching how the other special launch modes already behave.
