When you stop a turn, for example with Esc, waiting updates from those tasks are now put back in the queue as passive. A passive update does not start the model working again. The tasks are then stopped.\n\nBefore, the tasks were only stopped.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis keeps an old update from a stopped task from waking the model after you have told it to stop.\n\n- Area: Background Tasks\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
