These belong to the same process group, which is a set of related processes. When Claude Code stops such a program, it now also stops each member of that group one by one, not only the main process.\n\n**Why**\n\nFewer child processes are left running in the background after something has been stopped.\n\n- Area: Process Management\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
