35Claude now keeps working while subagents run and picks up their results when they finish, instead of pausing the conversation to wait. Claude still runs a subagent in the foreground when it needs the result before continuing, and background subagents surface every permission prompt in your main session. Pin a subagent's behavior with the `background` frontmatter field.35Claude now keeps working while subagents run and picks up their results when they finish, instead of pausing the conversation to wait.

42The Claude desktop app is now available on Ubuntu 22.04+ and Debian 12+ in beta, on x86\_64 and arm64. You get the same Chat, Cowork, and Claude Code experience as macOS and Windows: parallel sessions, visual diff review, an integrated terminal and editor, and live app preview. Installs from Anthropic's apt repository, so updates arrive through regular package updates.42The Claude desktop app is now available on Ubuntu 22.04+ and Debian 12+ in beta, on x86\_64 and arm64.
