 ## [Unreleased]

+### Added
+
+- Background commands: the model starts a dev server, a watcher or another process that keeps
+  running with `bash` and `background: true`, reads its new output with `bash_output` and stops it
+  with `bash_stop`. `/jobs` lists them, and they all stop when the session ends.
+- Desktop notifications (`notify-send` on Linux, `osascript` on macOS, else the terminal bell)
+  when a request that ran longer than 30 seconds is done, or lcode waits for your answer during
+  one. Settings: `notify` and `notify_after`.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- A command that starts something with `&` no longer hangs until its timeout while that process
+  holds the output open. What it left running is stopped when it ends, and the model is told to
+  use a background command instead.

 lcode refuses to edit a file the model hasn't read in the session, or one that changed on disk since
 it was read, so the model always edits the current version.
 
+## Background commands
+
+Some commands keep running: a dev server, a test watcher, a build in watch mode. The model starts
+one with `bash` and `background: true` and carries on working. It reads what the command printed
+since last time with `bash_output`, and stops it with `bash_stop`.
+
+```text
+  $ npm run dev  (in the background)
+    > vite
+    VITE v6.0.0  ready in 312 ms
+  ⎿ background job 1, /jobs to see it
+```
+
+- `/jobs` lists the background commands; `/jobs stop 1` stops one.
+- They all stop when the session ends.
+- Anything else a command starts with `&` is stopped when that command ends. Only background
+  commands keep running, so no process outlives the session unnoticed.
+- Background commands ask for permission like any other command, and run in the
+  [sandbox](sandbox.md) when it's on.
+
+## Notifications
+
+Local models take a while, so you'll often switch to something else during a request. lcode shows
+a desktop notification:
+- when a request that ran longer than 30 seconds is done;
+- when, during such a request, lcode waits for your answer (a permission question or a plan).
+
+It uses `notify-send` on Linux and `osascript` on macOS, and rings the terminal bell where neither
+works. Change the time with `lcode config set notify_after 60`, or turn notifications off with
+`lcode config set notify false`. For something else, such as a sound or a phone message, use a
+[notification hook](hooks.md#hooks).
