Agents view gains a way to open jobs and return to cloud sessions
The agents view can now be told which job to open from another source and can send you back to a cloud session when that job is missing or failed to restart

Unclear It is not clear how the view is opened this new way, or whether the cloud-session path is switched on for everyone.
What
The agents view is the screen that lists the agents and jobs Claude Code is running for you. Previously it could only open a job automatically from one source. It can now take the job to open from an additional source, and when it does:
it does not offer a way to go back
if the job is missing, or restarting it failed, it returns you to the cloud session (a session that runs on Anthropic's servers rather than your computer)
for cloud targets, it can keep you in place after opening a cloud tab
when it exits with its message that there is no session, it first asks for a hint about resuming to be shown
Why
Moving between local jobs and cloud sessions from the agents view should be smoother, with fewer dead ends when a job cannot be reopened.
