Unclear It is not stated which sessions get the new counting.
What
Background tasks are jobs Claude Code keeps running while you work, shown in a small pill in the footer and in a task panel. Workflow runs that happen remotely, in the cloud, are now part of this:
- When the view is enabled, the task panel lists remote workflow runs, not only local ones. Opening one shows its details with an
isCloudRunflag. - Size warnings now apply only to local workflows.
- The footer pill now counts remote background tasks and, when a check returns true, leaves out
local_workflowtasks. Before, it filtered out only ambient tasks and in-process teammate tasks. - The footer only watches the task list when remote tasks or workflow runs exist.
- New helpers format remote workflow runs and clear the
workflowsfooter selection.
Why
Workflows running in the cloud become visible and selectable from the same places as local ones, so the count in the footer and the list in the panel may look different from before.
