Question

I'm experimenting with subagents. I've noticed behavior I don't really understand.

When a subagent is performing tasks and needs my approval to commit at a certain point or to use specific tools, it appears the main agent is waiting, but I don't see any request for approval. Then, when I navigate through the subagents using the left and right keys, I eventually find the subagent that is waiting for my approval. Once I approve it, the subagent continues its work.

Is this the expected behavior, or am I doing something wrong? I would expect the main agent to report back to me so I can respond to it.

When a subagent is performing tasks and needs my approval to commit at a certain point or to use specific tools, it appears the main agent is waiting, but I don't see any request for approval. Then, when I navigate through the subagents using the <leader>left and <leader>right keys, I eventually find the subagent that is waiting for my approval. Once I approve it, the subagent continues its work. Is this the expected behavior, or am I doing something wrong? I would expect the main agent to report back to me so I can respond to it.

This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

  • #4078: Sub-agent's request for permission is not shown in the primary agent's view - describes the exact same behavior where subagent permission requests are not visible in the main agent view and require manual navigation to find
  • #4180: ctrl-left/right doesn't navigate between subagents since 1.0 TUI - discusses navigation issues between subagents using keyboard shortcuts
  • #4092: Better navigation of output, alternative vim mode and non-blocking agent permission requests - requests non-blocking permission requests so they don't interrupt the main workflow

Feel free to ignore if none of these address your specific case.
