It now checks an agent's final message for phrases such as \"awaiting your approval\" or \"ready for your approval\" and marks the agent as asking you. Wording that is negated, conditional or optional is ignored.\n\n**Why**\n\nAn agent that has stopped to wait for your go-ahead is more likely to show as waiting rather than done.\n\n- Area: Subagents\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5"}
