Description

Short summary

Session appears to keep running indefinitely even though response is fully returned.

Affected version or release

v1.1.16

Installation context

MacOS Tahoe 26.6.2

What happened?

Sessions appear to keep running, though response is returned. Happening across multiple sessions. Tried app update and restart with no luck.

This also means that when I manually "stop" the session, queued messages are lost.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Start a session
  2. See response returned, yet session appears to keep running.

Session should enter the "response returned" state.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. First reproduce the issue on macOS Tahoe 26.6.2 with version v1.1.16, then trace the session state after the response is returned and use the attached screenshots as reference. Done means the session changes to the response-returned state without losing queued messages when stopped.
