Feature Request
When exiting Claude Code with Ctrl+C, there should be a warning if there are background bash processes still running.
Problem
Currently, if you have background tasks running (e.g., started with run_in_background: true) and exit Claude Code with Ctrl+C, those processes get killed without any warning. This can lead to accidentally terminating long-running operations.
