Unclear It is not clear what, if anything, you see differently when a background task is stopped.

What

A background task is work Claude Code keeps running while you carry on. When one is stopped, Claude Code sends a notice about it. Before, that notice always went to the current agent, an agent being one running copy of Claude working on a task. It was delivered quietly. The notice can now carry a message and be sent to a different agent. When it goes to another agent, it is delivered actively instead of quietly.

Why

This changes how stop notices reach subagents, which are helper agents Claude Code starts for part of a job.
