Spinner persists after /clear command

Bug
When a background agent/task is running and the user executes /clear, the conversation context is cleared but the spinner from the previous task continues to display (e.g., ✶ Embellishing… (5m 48s · 3.5k tokens)).
Expected behavior
/clear should cancel any active spinners/progress indicators along with clearing the conversation.
Actual behavior
The spinner from the previously running agent continues ticking indefinitely after /clear, even though the conversation context has been reset.
Steps to reproduce
- Start a task that spawns a background agent or long-running operation
- While the spinner is active, run
/clear - Observe the spinner continues to display
Environment
- Platform: macOS (Darwin 25.3.0)
- Model: claude-opus-4-6
