What issue are you seeing?

AGENTS.md exists in my current working directory, but /status still shows Agents.md: <none>.
This looks misleading.

Current directory in the session is:
~/Documents/ObsidiavVault/Dosgate/master-agent

And the file is there:
~/Documents/ObsidiavVault/Dosgate/master-agent/AGENTS.md

So from my side it looks like /status is not showing the actual filesystem state, but some cached or session-initialized state. If AGENTS.md was created after the
session started, I can understand why it may not be loaded automatically, but then /status should make that clearer.

Right now Agents.md: <none> reads like “there is no AGENTS.md here”, which is not true.

It would be better if /status showed one of these explicitly:

  • AGENTS.md exists but was not loaded in this session
  • AGENTS.md detected after session start
  • AGENTS.md not present at session initialization

The current wording is confusing because it makes debugging workspace instructions harder than it should be.`

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Uploaded thread: 019dd9fb-4e0c-7af2-837f-a58428c3581b

What is the expected behavior?

I expect to see not <none> in /status where field AGENTS.md

Additional information

I didn't try to restart session.
