What

When work moves to the background, Claude Code shows a "Running in background" hint naming a command to follow it. Under some conditions the hint now names /workflows and says "to monitor", where it used to name /tasks and say "to view".

A permission for a projects entry point was also added to the connection Claude Code uses with other apps.

Why

You may see /workflows suggested in the hint where you used to see /tasks.
