Agent's Todo does not appear in the request in which it was first created

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

An agent’s personal todo list doesn’t appear in the chat after it’s created, or even after the agent edits it. Closing and reopening the chat tab doesn’t help.

The list will only appear under the user’s next request.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Ask the agent to create a personal list and either wait or start working on tasks.
  2. You will see that you cannot see this list.
  3. Once you submit a new request, the list will be displayed in the GUI (the list may need to be incomplete).

Expected Behavior

Between “BUGS” and “Explored” there should be a list of agent tasks displayed:

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Sometimes - I can sometimes use Cursor

Yeah, that’s quite hard to work with.

I’ll file a bug with the team!
