What

Two small changes:

  • Background jobs: when a background job (a task Claude Code runs without you watching) is restarted, it can now be marked as owing a reply, depending on whether it is set to reply when it resumes.
  • Auto-updater status line: the line showing the state of Claude Code's automatic updates now appears only in certain states.
Why

A background job that is restarted can now pick up a reply it still owed.
