[DOCS] Agent view docs omit that `/bg` and `←` keep directories added with `/add-dir`

Documentation Type

Section/Topic

From inside a session and the attach/detach guidance for background sessions

Current Documentation

The docs currently say:

Press Enter or → on a row to attach when you want the full conversation. The session takes over the terminal exactly as if you had run claude. Press ← on an empty prompt to detach and return to the table. To move a session you already have open into agent view, run /bg inside it, or press ← on an empty prompt to background it and open agent view in one step. Backgrounding from an interactive session starts a fresh process that resumes from the saved conversation... Configuration flags from the original launch carry through to the backgrounded session, so its MCP servers, settings, and fallback model remain in effect: --mcp-config and --strict-mcp-config --settings --add-dir --plugin-dir --fallback-model --allow-dangerously-skip-permissions

Related docs also say:

/add-dir <path> ... You can later resume the session from the added directory with --continue or --resume

and:

--continue, -c ... Includes sessions that added this directory with /add-dir

What's Wrong or Missing?

The agent view docs explain that launch-time flags carry through to backgrounded sessions, but they do not say that directories added later with /add-dir are also preserved when you background with /bg or press ← to detach.

Because the preserved-state list is framed as "Configuration flags from the original launch," a reader can reasonably infer that only startup --add-dir values survive. The v2.1.144 behavior change for /bg and ←-detach preserving directories added via /add-dir is not documented on the page that teaches those flows.

Suggested Improvement

Add an explicit note in agent-view near the /bg / detach behavior, for example:

Backgrounding also preserves directories added earlier in the session with /add-dir, so the backgrounded session and later --continue / --resume lookups still include those directories.

If the behavior is identical for both /bg and ←-detach, say that directly on the same page so users do not have to infer it from separate /add-dir, --continue, and session-picker pages.

Impact

Medium - Makes feature difficult to understand

Additional Context

Affected Pages:

| Page | Line(s) | Context |
|------|---------|---------|
| https://code.claude.com/docs/en/agent-view | 60-65, 258-269 | /bg and ← detach are documented, but preserved state is described only in terms of original launch flags |
| https://code.claude.com/docs/en/commands | 43-46 | /add-dir and /background are documented separately, but not tied together |
| https://code.claude.com/docs/en/cli-reference | 62, 100 | --continue and --resume mention sessions that added the current directory with /add-dir |
| https://code.claude.com/docs/en/sessions | 35 | Session picker includes sessions started elsewhere that added the current directory with /add-dir |

Total scope: 4 pages affected

Version context: This missing clarification matters for the v2.1.144 change: /bg and ←-detach now preserve directories added via /add-dir.
