Description:
When using team agent mode in Claude Code, idle team members cannot be cleaned up. They remain hanging and accumulate over time, causing clutter in the interface.
Environment:
- Claude Code version: 2.1.50
- OS: Windows 10
- Terminal: Windows Terminal
Steps to reproduce:
- Start Claude Code with team agents
- Work with multiple agents over a session
- Observe that agents become idle after completing their tasks
- Try to clean up or dismiss idle agents
Expected behavior:
Idle team agents should be cleanable/dismissable, either automatically or through a user action.
Actual behavior:
- Idle agents remain visible in the team list
- No apparent way to clean them up
- They accumulate over time, making the interface cluttered
Impact:
- Clutters the team agent view
- Makes it difficult to track active agents
- Potentially impacts performance with many idle agents
