What

An internal class that keeps track of background shell (bash) commands was reworked. It previously used two sets called pendingKillBackstops and liveShellCommands to track running processes; it now uses a reportedDroppedEntries set, a pendingPrunes map, and a ledger object instead.

Why

This is an internal change to how Claude Code manages background shell processes, not a user-facing feature. The finding does not say what problem the new structure fixes or what a user might notice differently.

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 shows a data-structure change but not what effect, if any, it has on user-visible behavior.
