Having a way to force stop agents would be nice. I have one that has been running for 45 minutes, and seems to have hung. But I can't find a way to kill it in the app...

Research direction
Start from the /chat experience and reproduce an agent that remains running for an extended period, such as the reported 45 minutes. Investigate how the app currently exposes agent controls and define the completion check as a visible way for users to force-stop a running agent without restarting the app.
