What
A task is a piece of work Claude Code runs in the background. If you try to stop a task Claude Code cannot find, it used to show a generic not-found message. When a lookup for host tools is on, the message now reads Task <id> needs <x>: "<hostName>". and names the host that owns the task.
Why
The message points you to where the task lives instead of only saying it was not found.
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 not clear when the host-tool lookup is on or what the "needs" part of the message names.
