What
When Claude Code stops work, it now takes an option to spare background tasks no matter what, rather than only deciding this itself.
Why
This changes which background tasks keep running after an interrupt.
Stopping can now be told to spare background tasks
Claude Code's stop handling can now be told directly to leave background tasks running
