 ## [Unreleased]
 
+### Added
+
+- Added a non-interrupting "aside" message channel to the agent loop (`AgentLoopConfig.getAsideMessages` / `Agent.setAsideMessageProvider`). Asides are drained at each step boundary (after a tool batch, before the next model call) and at the yield check, so passive notifications (e.g. background-job completions, late LSP diagnostics) reach the model *between requests* without waiting for the agent to stop and without aborting in-flight tools the way steering does.
+
 ### Changed
 
 - Changed core custom and hook messages to convert to `developer` messages for provider context.

 ### Changed
 
+- Changed background-job completion and late LSP diagnostic delivery to inject at the next agent step boundary (mid-run), via the new non-interrupting "aside" channel, instead of only when the agent reaches a yield/follow-up point. The model now sees these notifications between its own requests without the turn having to end first, and in-flight tools are never interrupted; `job`-poll acknowledgement still suppresses results the agent already saw.
 - Changed late LSP diagnostics after edit or write to surface in the chat transcript as `Late diagnostics` entries rendered through the same grouped tree renderer the `edit`/`write` tools use (per-file nodes, severity icons, `:line:col` locations), and to honor the global tool-output expand toggle (collapsed entries cap at 5 diagnostics with a `… N more` hint)
 - Changed delayed diagnostics delivery to batch late results in one message per flush instead of a raw hidden custom payload
 - Changed hidden custom messages and file-mention context to reach providers as `developer` messages instead of user-authored turns, so system reminders no longer pollute compacted user history.
