Terminal commands from agent in ssh remote host freezing and not doing anything

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Describe the Bug

From few days ago, running any terminal command from agent in ssh remote session halts the agent output.

Even a simple prompt like “Debug yourself. Execute echo "hello world" in terminal” tries to start a terminal , but freezes there. not even a cancel button appears.

Tried gpt-5, gpt-5-codex, sonnet, etc.. all with same behavior.

This bug occurred last week.

Steps to Reproduce

simple prompt like “Debug yourself. Execute echo "hello world" in terminal”

Expected Behavior

agent executes terminal command.

This only happens on a ssh remote host. (local mac client connecting to linux host)

With the same bash env, on local mac, this works fine.
