Unclear What a reader actually sees differently, such as fewer or different notifications about background shells.

What

A background shell is a command that keeps running while Claude carries on with other work. Claude Code now keeps a record of which tasks own background shells that run quietly, and clears that record when its task tracking is reset. Tasks it registers are also now marked differently depending on whether they were set up to run quietly.

Why

This points to changes in how Claude Code notifies you about background shells.
