Describe the bug

I use parallel subagents a lot and with the latest version the experience has degraded a lot and has become unusable.

  1. The subagents keep on running indefinitely mostly. And even if I ask the main agent to stop them or ask them to consolidate their findings they don't stop. They keep on running in loops. 1-2 hrs and even more.
  2. Steering prompts also doesn't work since the turns of those agents never completes. Its like the main agent doesnt pick up new prompts from the queue as it keeps on waiting for the subagents and subagents never complete. With 1.0.48, steering was very good, it stopped current work (of main agent) and I could send important directions if I saw it deviating. With new version the steered prompts are just added to the queue and are picked up very late.
  3. Explore agents work fine, general-purpose aren't working.
