🟢 Low src/t3ToolSummary.ts:180
background-wait summaries say background work was marked as awaited even when a selected call has input.waiting === false, so the work log reports the opposite of the operation performed. Derive the label from the selected calls’ input.waiting values, using a cleared label for false and a neutral update label for mixed batches.

Fixed in 4b4d183. The single-call and grouped labels now say "Updated background waits", which is true for both waiting=true and waiting=false. That's smaller than deriving the label from each call's input, and it never misreports.

ApprovabilityVerdict: Needs Human Approval Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — This PR introduces a new background-wait capability and changes default thread behavior across orchestration, settlement, notifications, and web/mobile Working lists. In particular, background commands and monitors now require explicit marking to keep a thread active, making this a broad product-behavior change rather than a narrowly scoped fix. You can add or adjust custom eligibility rules. Learn more. |

- Around line 179-181: Update the “background-wait” branch in summarizeToolGroup
to count calls with input.waiting === false separately from awaited calls, so
mixed groups describe both outcomes. Use the existing completed state and
quantity formatting to distinguish completed versus attempted mixed labels,
while preserving the current Released label for all-release groups and Marked
label for all-awaited groups.

Compare
A thread left Working while the agent was still waiting on a background command (tests, a CI wait), and stayed stuck in Working while a dev-server watchdog Monitor ran. Both came from deciding "the agent will come back" by task kind: commands never held and monitors always did, but either can be a wait or a process left running. Agents now mark the background work they will resume from with the t3_background_wait MCP tool. Marked tasks hold the thread in Working, block completion alerts and auto-settle, and wake the agent after a restart. Unmarked commands and monitors do neither. Subagents and PR watches hold as before. Claude implements the mark on its roster entries, so it ends with the task and resets with the process, and its system prompt says when to call the tool, since Claude Code defers MCP tools behind ToolSearch. Other providers report the tool as unsupported.

Problem
With the Working section on, a thread left it too early while the agent was still waiting on a background command, like tests or a CI wait. It also stayed stuck there after the agent finished but left a dev server running with a watchdog Monitor. Both came from deciding by task kind alone: commands never held the thread and monitors always did. But either kind can be a wait the agent will resume from, or a process it left running.
Change
t3_background_wait, marks background tasks the agent will act on when woken (awaited: true).waiting: falseclears the mark. IDs that are not running come back inunmatchedand change nothing.backgroundWorkHoldsCompletion, a task holds if it is marked awaited or is a subagent or background task. Unmarked commands and monitors never hold, so a dev server or its watchdog no longer pins a thread. PR watches are marked awaited, so they hold as before.RestartBackgroundNote)sdkMessageLock.Edge cases checked:
parent_task_id): they don't hold. Claude's schema says the parent "may be a foreground or already-ended task", so holding them would bring back the stuck bug for a dev server a subagent starts. While a subagent waits on its own shell, it is still running, and that already holds. Restart recovery (fix(server): wake threads whose subagents' background work a restart cut #19750) still reports that work as the subagent's.awaitedis an optional field.awaitedandambientroster flags: these mean something else, and T3 reads neither.Scope and approval
Theo approved opening this PR for this fix. It changes only when background work holds a thread, plus the one tool agents use to declare a wait.
