What
A background session is a Claude Code session that keeps running without a terminal open on it. When one stops to wait for your answer, the status it records now includes an identifier for that question along with its text. Before, it recorded only the text. This applies when the session needs input and no prompt is already waiting from the connection to another app.
Why
With an identifier, other apps connected to the session can answer that exact question.
