Claude Code adds monitor tool for jobs

Claude Code now includes a monitor tool that watches background processes and wakes the agent when something changes, instead of forcing repeated polling loops. The update is aimed at making long-running agent tasks more efficient while cutting wasted token usage.

// ANALYSIS

This is a pragmatic quality-of-life upgrade for agentic coding workflows: less busy-waiting, fewer wasted cycles, and better fit for tasks that run for a while.

–Reduces polling overhead for long-running jobs.
–Improves agent efficiency by reacting to state changes instead of rechecking on a loop.
–Fits the direction Claude Code has been taking toward more autonomous background execution.
