Unclear It is not clear what condition makes a finished agent show as waiting.
What
In the task list, which shows agents (helpers Claude runs alongside your conversation) working in the background, a finished local agent used to show as "parked" or "done".
Now, under a new condition, a finished local agent shows a "waiting" icon and label instead, and is not counted as completed. Agents that were set aside still show "parked".
Why
The status you see in the background-tasks panel can now read "waiting" for an agent that would earlier have read "done".
