What

Claude Code shows a list of the tasks it is working on. Each task now records whether it is marked as ambient, and the list counts a change to that mark as a change. Before, Claude Code compared only each task's identity, type, subagent type and description.

A subagent is a helper that Claude starts to handle part of the work.

Why

Before, a task whose ambient status changed could keep showing out-of-date information. The display now refreshes when that status changes.
