What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

26.803.5235.0

What subscription do you have?

PLUS

What platform is your computer?

Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.26200.0 x64

What issue are you seeing?

let several subagents run while token run out, subagents appear still running in next sessions, close&restart don't fix it.

Clicking it one by time force sync (via websocket? or just reload...) and marked is at "done", but each open+sync take up to 5-6 seconds each one.

Asking chatgpt to re-recheck the subagents status confirm the subagents are not really running

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Let subagents run when token run out (or sometime just as is, i've get a number increase of "running" just restarting the app"

What is the expected behavior?

When subagent is "done" should not stay in "running"

Additional information

Example of a long aged project chat:

Same project but after a full restart (not just close app and restart):

Several people on discord report the same, but seem none is willing to use owne time to fill an issue...

Not a functional bug, just aesthetic, but the information from the tab are misleading
