Problem
When viewing a focused agent task details window in the CLI, if the background agent completes while the details view is focused, the view continues to show 'thinking...' with an incrementing timer/counter instead of reflecting the actual completed state.
The stale state persists until you press Escape to exit the focused view. Once you return to the main /tasks view, it correctly shows the agent has completed.
Expected Behavior
The focused details view should either:
- Auto-refresh to show the completed state, or
- Auto-dismiss when the agent finishes, or
- At minimum, indicate to the user that the agent has completed
Steps to Reproduce
- Launch a background subagent task
- Keep the focused agent details view open (don't escape out)
- Wait for the agent to complete
- Observe the details view continues showing 'thinking...' with active timer
- Press Escape to exit the details view
- Return to
/tasks— now it correctly shows no running agents
Impact
- Users are misled about agent status (appears running when it's done)
- Creates false impression that the tool might be hung
- Reduces confidence in the agent execution model
