Description

I submitted feedback from the application and received the confirmation:

"Feedback uploaded. If the problem persists, please open a GitHub issue..."

However, the issue is still occurring.

What is happening

When the agent attempts to:

  1. Install packages (e.g. via npm/pnpm/yarn)
  2. Run a build command (e.g. pnpm build / npm run build)

The terminal gets stuck during execution and does not complete.
The process appears to hang indefinitely without progressing or throwing an error.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open project workspace
  2. Ask the agent to install dependencies
  3. Observe terminal hangs at "installing..."
  4. Ask the agent to run a build command
  5. Build process also hangs

Expected behavior

The agent should:

  • Execute the install command successfully
  • Complete dependency installation
  • Execute build commands normally
  • Return output or errors if applicable

Environment

  • OS: Linux (Pop!_OS)
  • Node: v24.13.1
  • pnpm: 10.29.3
  • npm: 11.8.0
  • bun: 1.3.9
  • Running locally (not WSL / not container)
  • Shell: zsh (Oh My Zsh + Powerlevel10k)
