Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a workspace
2. Ask the agent to do work inside that workspace
3. Ask the agent to write down what it did, in a file outside the workspace.
The agent looks like it's working forever, but it's actually waiting on permissions
That session then seems to be permanently hung for tools that affect the filesystem; I've worked around it by forking the session before the request that caused the hang.
