Run long shell jobs as attachable background tasks with the `!` prefix in agent view
Claude Code's agent view lets you prefix a shell command with `!` to launch it as a background job you can detach from and re-attach later, instead of blocking the session on a long build, test suite, or dev server. The same view dispatches and monitors background agent sessions from one terminal dashboard, so you start work, send it to the background, and only jump back in when input is needed. This is the practical primitive for running several parallel agent sessions without juggling terminal tabs.
