What
Two additions:
The list of background tasks, the work Claude Code runs alongside your conversation, now has a group for memory work that runs after a turn. A turn is one exchange: you send a message and Claude replies. Agent entries in that list can now also be marked as refused.
The status line is the line at the bottom of the screen that you can customise with your own script. The data passed to that script now includes remoteSessionName.
Why
These point to a kind of background task that handles memory after each turn. If you write your own status line, there is one more value available to it.
