What probably matters to youSection of the release
What

The background tasks dialog lists work running in the background, including teammates, which are extra agents working as a team. It changes in these ways:

  • The list now scrolls.
  • Teammates are grouped under a "Team: (n)" heading, below the team's leader.
  • Selecting a task can open an "Actions for " menu with View, Foreground and Stop. In that menu, Escape goes back to the list.
  • When the menu is not available, Enter opens the task directly, as before.
  • The x key still stops a task and f still brings it to the foreground.
Why

People using agent teams get grouped rows and a menu instead of having to remember keys.

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 doubtIt is unclear what decides whether the actions menu opens, so it may not be active yet.
