Subagents generate empty terminals

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

If subagent launches a terminal, it can’t be viewed while it’s running. However, after its completion, a record of its existence appears in the terminal list, but its contents are empty.

The command called in the terminal (most likely) works correctly.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Configure the Subagent
  2. Task the Agent to call the Subagent and do something in the terminal

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Thanks @Artemonim I’ll pass it to the team.
