Claude Code v2.1.198 lets background agents commit, push, and open draft PRs
Claude Code v2.1.198 makes subagents run in the background by default, adds
background-agent notifications, and says background agents launched from
claude agents now commit, push, and open a draft PR when they finish code work
in a worktree instead of stopping to ask. Channel: tagged-release. Operator
consequence: background agents now cross into repository mutation and remote
branch/PR automation; re-audit worktree rules, branch protection, and
Notification hooks.
