What
In the list for picking a background task, the smaller description line now shows the subagent type when it is not the default agent type. A subagent is a helper agent Claude starts to handle part of a task. Before, that line always showed the task's type with the local_ prefix removed.
Why
You can now tell which kind of subagent each background task is.
