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.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis avoids grabbing terminal input in a launch mode where doing so isn't appropriate, matching how the other special launch modes already behave.\n\n- Area: Elsewhere\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
