Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the detailed report. This looks like a known issue: the completion chime triggers when the parent agent backgrounds a sub-agent in Multitask, even though the work is still running. I reported internally that it also reproduces on 3.8.23. I can’t share a fix timeline yet.

As a temporary workaround, you can turn off the completion sound in settings until we fix it. Once I have an update on the fix, I’ll reply in the thread.
