When every background task is a local workflow, it still reads \"1 background dynamic workflow\" or \"background dynamic workflows\", as before. Monitor tasks are now included in the summary.\n\nWhether monitor tasks are counted is controlled by a remote setting. In this release's code it falls back to including them unless the setting is switched off remotely.\n\n**Why**\n\nMonitor tasks running in the background now show up in the footer count instead of being left out. If the remote setting is turned off, they are left out again.\n\n- Flag `tengu_mossy_dijkstra`: Not enough to say (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.317; this account: no value returned, anonymous baseline: no value returned, compiled default: on) These values were read against a different version of Claude Code, so treat them as the nearest reading available instead of one taken on this release.\n- Area: Background Tasks\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
