• Background work

  The agent can run work in the background in two forms: task agents dispatched with the task tool and background processes started with bash background:true. Both kinds are tracked as background jobs, deliver their results back into the conversation automatically, and share one set of TUI surfaces.

  The app name comes from apps/cli/package.json. In the paths and commands below, <name> means that package name. The app home defaults to ~/.<name> and can be overridden with the environment variable formed by upper-casing the package name, replacing non-alphanumeric characters with underscores, and appending _HOME.
