Description

**Steps to reproduce**:
* Open the Agents window and focus a session.
* While that session remains focused, use Mark as Unread on it.
* Observe the session's unread state.

**Expected**: The focused session is marked as unread and displays its unread indicator.

**Actual**: Nothing changes; the session remains read. This appears to reproduce only when the session being marked as unread is currently focused.

Additional context: See the attached screen recording.
