/context output is corrupted/truncated after agent team run completes

Bug Description

After running a task with agent teams (plan mode), when the run completes and I execute /context, the output is corrupted and truncated. Specifically:

  1. Overlay corruption: Notification banners (e.g. "Database Authentication Error") render on top of the /context output, cutting through and overlapping the context visualization
  2. Truncation: The /context output doesn't show the full result — it gets cut off mid-display. The conversation token summary and overall context usage percentage appears to be missing.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Start a Claude Code session
  2. Use agent teams / plan mode to run a complex task (in my case, a project with 20+ agents like security-auditor, typescript-pro, seo-content-auditor, etc.)
  3. Wait for the agent team run to complete
  4. Run /context
  5. Observe that the output is corrupted with overlaid notifications and truncated

Expected Behavior

/context should display the full, clean context visualization showing:

  • All context sources (system prompt, conversation, agents, memory files, skills)
  • Token counts for each
  • Overall context usage percentage
  • No visual corruption from other UI elements

Actual Behavior

  • Yellow "Database Authentication Error" notification boxes render on top of the /context output (see screenshots)
  • The context output appears truncated — agents list and skills list show but the summary is incomplete
  • The display is essentially unreadable in parts due to the overlay
