Workflow runs that happen remotely, in the cloud, are now part of this:\n\n- When the view is enabled, the task panel lists remote workflow runs, not only local ones. Opening one shows its details with an `isCloudRun` flag.\n\n- Size warnings now apply only to local workflows.\n\n- The footer pill now counts remote background tasks and, when a check returns true, leaves out `local_workflow` tasks. Before, it filtered out only ambient tasks and in-process teammate tasks.\n\n- The footer only watches the task list when remote tasks or workflow runs exist.\n\n- New helpers format remote workflow runs and clear the `workflows` footer selection.\n\n**Why**\n\nWorkflows 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.\n\n- Area: Background Tasks\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
