Conversation status indicators update in real time, with notifications when a run finishes or waits on you
When you run multiple conversations letting AI handle different tasks, you no longer need to switch windows to track progress.
The side panel now pops up a small notification when another Claude conversation finishes or gets stuck waiting for you. This notification only appears if the status is still the same at the next check, so a brief status flicker won't bother you. The second line of each item in the session list shows the AI's last reply, with Markdown symbols automatically stripped. If a conversation is waiting, it clearly states what it's waiting for, such as your answer or permission for the sandbox (a protective mechanism that limits what programs can do). Session status indicators now use icons too: a spinning circle while running, a yellow question mark while waiting, a green checkmark within ten minutes of finishing, then a gray dot, and the "busy" and "idle" text labels have been removed.
