What's Wrong?

What Should Happen?
agentId should be returned

Additional Information
Per https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/claude-code/sub-agents#resumable-subagents the system is supposed to return the agentId but this value is not visible by hitting CTRL+O nor is it returned in function_results from the Task tool.
Expected behavior: Return agentId as part of function_results so claude will be able to programmatically resume execution of the sub-agent for future operations.
