Claude Code v2.1.70 ·
"Kill" Terminology Changed to "Stop"
EntryKind: in v2.1.70,
ChangesSection of the release
Background agent management now uses softer language throughout the UI:
- "Press ctrl+f again to kill background agents" → "Press ctrl+f again to stop background agents"
- "Background agents were killed by the user" → "Background agents were stopped by the user"
- Agent status label changed from "Killed" to "Stopped"
- Command keywords:
kill agents → stop agents, kill all agents → stop all agents
Evidence
Terminology change (search for "stop agents") replacing old (search for "kill agents")
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
