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

  • #9003: main agent hangs because of subagent (explore) — Reports the same symptom where subagent completes work but main session hangs indefinitely
  • #10802: TUI: Parent session appears stuck "loading" when subagent is blocked — Describes lack of visibility into subagent status causing parent to appear frozen

Both issues suggest that when using @explore or Task subagents, the parent session UI appears unresponsive even though the subagent is working correctly. The new issue (#12525) reports that subagents are "not spinning up" but this may actually mean they're spinning up silently without proper status visibility, matching the behavior described in #9003 and #10802.

Feel free to ignore if your specific case differs from these.
