From b6cdbc9058b0ae6c57fab284fee15780090600d5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matt Van Horn Date: Sat, 24 Jan 2026 15:00:30 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] fix: Display research banner before background script starts Since script runs in background, users don't see its live output. Now Claude displays the fancy emoji banner immediately before starting the background script.
