commit 17b0caea7259e522249548d6b258f8feca77bbf3 equwal <13551856+equwal@users.noreply.github.com> 2026-09-26 20:13:39 -0700 Stop only the blocked task when a request has more than one task A human step or an error in one task stopped all the tasks of a request. The skill now tells Claude to stop only the blocked task and the tasks that need its result. Claude continues the other tasks while the dialog is open, and asks its questions at the end. Each dialog runs in its own process, so more than one dialog can be open.
