Claude Code gives it a set of instructions, under the heading \"# Background Session\". That text can now be put together in a second way, which uses its own separate text about keeping work isolated. The default way still produces the same text as before.\n\n**Why**\n\nNothing changes in the default instructions. The second version is a different mode for background sessions.\n\n- Area: Sessions\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
