What
When a stop request names an ID shaped like a local shell task's ID and no such task exists, Claude Code no longer tries it as an agent's name. The request fails with a message asking for the agent's task ID.
Tasks that were killed without you stopping them also get an extra notice.
Why
A stop request can no longer end up stopping the wrong agent because its ID happened to look like a name.
