Unclear It is not stated what condition decides which version of the description Claude sees.
What
Claude gets written instructions for each tool it can use. Two of them, for running commands in the background with run_in_background, now change depending on a check:
- Bash: when the check is false, the description of
run_in_backgroundno longer promises you will be notified when the command finishes. It ends with a different sentence instead:Only use this if you don't need the result immediately. - PowerShell: the advice about
Start-Sleep,run_in_backgroundand polling is only included when a check for background support passes. Before, it was always included.
Why
Claude should stop being told to rely on background running or completion notices in setups where they do not apply.
