What issue are you seeing?
After switching agent branches, I get a notification in chat that the agent is closed, even though it's still running. Furthermore, in the agent list, all agents are always grayed out, as if they're all closed, but that's not the case.

I observed the same behavior.
Does this appear to be a regression in 0.117.0? Can you repro the problem if you downgrade to 0.116.0?
@etraut-openai
116 has the same problem. But I enabled tui-app-server in 0.116
OK, that's a good clue. If you disable
tui_app_serverin either 0.116 or 0.117, does the problem go away? If so, then we have a clear sign of a regression due to thetui_app_serverfeature.Thanks for the bug report. This will be addressed in the next release.
