Description
Summary
In the TUI, while a subagent is running in the background, there is no live preview of the subagent's last message in the main agent thread — the step shows only its status/spinner.
Environment
- opencode version: 1.18.16 (
opencode --version) - OS: macOS Darwin 25.6.0 (arm64)
- Terminal: TERM=xterm-256color
- Shell: /bin/zsh
- Install/channel: release (1.18.16)
- Active plugins: none found (no
opencode.json/opencode.jsoncin cwd or~/.config/opencode/, no.opencode/plugin(s))
Reproduction
- Start a background subagent.
- In the main agent view, watch the running subagent step.
- No live preview of the subagent's last message appears while it is running.
Expected Behavior
While a subagent is running, the main agent thread should show a live preview of the subagent's latest message.
Actual Behavior
A running (background) subagent shows no preview of its last message in the main thread — only status/spinner.
Additional Context
Observed while orchestrating multiple parallel subagents (implementers + verifier) from the build agent. Consistent/reproducible, not intermittent. No workarounds found.
