What's Wrong?

often when the agent is working on a prompt, in the middle of a step it'll get stuck.

at this point, if i hit ESC, it won't even say "Interrupted" like it usually does. sending additional messages to the agent will then lead to something like this, but there's no way to move forward other than starting a new session:

What Should Happen?

the agent shouldn't get stuck this way. or it should show an error.
