   - Using Aider-like search and replace, which has better performance than tool call based search and replace.
 - ⚡ **Shell optimizations**:
-  - Only one command is allowed to be run at a time, simplifying management and avoiding rogue processes. There's only single shell instance at any point of time.
   - Current working directory is always returned after any shell command to prevent AI from getting lost.
   - Command polling exits after a quick timeout to avoid slow feedback. However, status checking has wait tolerance based on fresh output streaming from a command. Both of these approach combined provides a good shell interaction experience.
+  - Supports multiple concurrent background commands alongside the main interactive shell.
 - ⚡ **Saving repo context in a single file**: Task checkpointing using "ContextSave" tool saves detailed context in a single file. Tasks can later be resumed in a new chat asking "Resume `task id`". The saved file can be used to do other kinds of knowledge transfer, such as taking help from another AI.
 - ⚡ **Easily switch between various modes**:
   - Ask it to run in 'architect' mode for planning. Inspired by adier's architect mode, work with Claude to come up with a plan first. Leads to better accuracy and prevents premature file editing.
   - Ask it to run in 'code-writer' mode for code editing and project building. You can provide specific paths with wild card support to prevent other files getting edited.
   - By default it runs in 'wcgw' mode that has no restrictions and full authorisation.
