FIG-3001:1

`Claude Code` `v2.1.144` improves background sessions, MCP tools, and terminal stability

Background agents are easier to resume and diagnose. The bigger win is fewer broken long sessions: MCP pagination, terminal corruption, startup hangs, and bad image files now fail less often.

[ KEY POINTS ]
  1. /resume now lists sessions started with claude --bg or agent view, marked as bg; background work is easier to recover after context switching.
  2. Background subagent completion notifications include elapsed time like 3h 2m 5s, useful for spotting expensive or slow automation runs.
  3. /model now changes only the current session; press d in the picker to set defaults, reducing accidental model drift across sessions.
  4. MCP tools/list pagination now returns more than the first page. Tool-heavy setups should stop losing capabilities silently.
  5. Startup hangs when api.anthropic.com is unreachable now time out after 15s, not up to 75s; bad networks hurt less.
