Description
### Checks
- [x] I have searched [github.com/aws/amazon-q-developer-cli/issues](https://github.com/aws/amazon-q-developer-cli/issues?q=) and there are no duplicates of my issue
- [x] I have run `q doctor` in the affected terminal session
- [x] I have run `q restart` and replicated the issue again
### Operating system
macOS 15.7.1 (24G231)
### Expected behaviour
When running background (delegate) tasks, receive the answer and then discard what was done.
### Actual behaviour
I once ran a `delegate` task inside one of my Q sessions and it has never stopped telling me that `[BACKGROUND TASK READY]`. I have no way to remove it.
### Steps to reproduce
_No response_
