[Bug]: codex subagents wont stop on desktop

Before submitting

• I searched existing issues and did not find a duplicate.
• I included enough detail to reproduce or investigate the problem.

Area

apps/desktop

Steps to reproduce

codex started a subagent
i tried to stop the agent clicking the stop button but it still shows it as its working and i even tried to have the parent agent stop it and it says there is no subagent so i cant tell if its an ui bug or the subagent is really actually still running.

also the subagent never talked back to the parent agent on its results.

Expected behavior

for the subagent to stop and report the findings to the parent agent.

Actual behavior

the subagent wont stop or at least visually shows it not stopped and it didnt give the results back to the parent agent i had to have the parent agent get the results.

Impact

Major degradation or frequent failure

Workaround

closing the chat and starting a new one.

Start by reproducing the issue in apps/desktop on Windows 10 with version 0.0.33, using the stop button and parent-agent flow described in the report. Trace whether the subagent actually stops and whether its results reach the parent; done means both actions have accurate UI state and the findings are reported to the parent.
