Background agent result causes “200 Failed to process successful response”

Summary

I was running a session with two background agents. One finished normally, but the second one ran for a very long time and eventually stopped with an error.

When I continued the main session, it tried to retrieve the result of that agent with AGENT(output). The result actually appeared in the UI (... +12 lines), but immediately after that Command Code returned:

Error: 200 Failed to process successful response

Typing continue just brings me back to the same problem, so the session is effectively stuck.

Trace ID: bb9fe6a5d866dd91c2d545423130da57

The main model was GLM-5.3-Flash through Fireworks and was working normally before this happened. I’m attaching the session JSONL as well.

Expected Behavior

If a background agent finishes or fails, the main agent should be able to retrieve whatever result/status is available and continue working.

A failed background agent should not make the parent session unusable.

Actual Behavior

The background agent result seems to be available because AGENT(output) displays it in the UI, but Command Code then fails with:

200 Failed to process successful response

The current turn stops and continuing the session causes the same issue again.

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Start a session and let the main agent launch a background agent.
2. In my case the background agent ran for a long time (~139 minutes) and eventually errored.
3. Continue the parent session and ask it to retrieve the background agent result.
4. Command Code calls AGENT(output).
5. The agent output appears to be returned, but the parent turn immediately fails with 200 Failed to process successful response.
6. Type continue and the session gets stuck on the same point again.

OS: macOS Tahoe 26.6.2

Beginne mit der Untersuchung der angehängten Session-JSONL rund um den AGENT(output)-Aufruf und den anschließenden Command Code error. Reproduziere den Fehler des lang laufenden Hintergrund-Agenten, wenn möglich, und verfolge dann, wie das zurückgegebene Ergebnis und der fehlgeschlagene Status verarbeitet werden. Erledigt ist die Aufgabe, wenn die übergeordnete Session entweder das Ergebnis oder den Status abrufen und ohne eine Wiederholung des 200-Fehlers fortfahren kann.
