Version: Claude Code 2.0.24
Issue: Task tool and subagents are causing infinite scroll behavior
Description
When invoking the Task tool (with any subagent_type), the output creates infinite scrolling in the interface. This prevents normal interaction and makes subagents unusable.
Steps to Reproduce
- Use Task tool with any subagent:
````
Task(
subagent_type="general-purpose",
description="Test task",
prompt="Simple test prompt"
)
- Observe infinite scrolling output
Expected Behavior
Task tool should:
- Execute subagent
- Return results in bounded output
- Allow normal conversation flow to continue
Actual Behavior
- Interface enters infinite scroll state
- Output continuously scrolls
- Makes further interaction difficult/impossible
Impact
- Subagents are currently unusable
- Task tool cannot be used reliably
- Blocks workflows that depend on multi-step agent coordination
Additional Context
- This issue was NOT present in earlier versions
- Version was recently upgraded from previous stable version
- Issue affects ALL subagent types (general-purpose, Explore, code-refactorer, etc.)
Environment
- OS: Linux (WSL2)
- Claude Code Version: 2.0.24
- Platform: CLI
