Claude Code /tasks Now Lists Finished Subagents Under "Earlier in this session"
Claude CodeClaude Code 2.1.319 adds an "Earlier in this session" row to /tasks that lists finished subagents. Users can reopen one and message it even after it leaves the list or after a restart.
Key Takeaways
/tasksgains an "Earlier in this session" row for finished subagents.- Users can reopen a finished subagent and message it.
- The row survives a restart, per the release notes.
- Subagent follow-ups no longer depend on the entry staying in the live list.
/clearno longer kills background agents, teammates and workflows that keep running.- Refused background agent reports now say so and explain how to request them.
Finished Subagents Stay Reachable
Claude Code 2.1.319 adds an "Earlier in this session" row to /tasks. It lists subagents that have finished, so a user can reopen one and message it even after it has dropped off the main list or after Claude Code restarts.
Why It Helps
A finished subagent could previously drop out of view, which made follow-up questions to it awkward. The new row keeps that path open for the session. The release notes do not say how long entries are retained beyond "even after you restart".
Nearby Fixes
The release also fixes /clear killing running commands of background agents, teammates and workflows that keep running, and a case where a background agent's later report was lost silently. The notification now says it was refused and how to ask for it.
