What
When Claude starts a monitor and that step is cut short, Claude Code now waits for it to finish and cleans up. If the agent is stopping, it reports the existing stopped error. Otherwise it reports a new message: "This call was interrupted before the monitor started; nothing is running."
Why
The failure message is clearer, and a half-started monitor is not left behind.
