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

  1. Use Task tool with any subagent:

``
Task(
subagent_type="general-purpose",
description="Test task",
prompt="Simple test prompt"
)
``

  1. 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
