What's Wrong?

Agent Teams: Teammate cannot exit properly in v2.1.76 (works fine in v2.1.74)

The Agent Teams feature has an issue where teammates cannot exit normally in version 2.1.76.
The same operations work correctly in version 2.1.74.

Test prompt as below:

You are the team lead.
Follow the steps below **strictly in order**, do not skip any steps.

## Step 1: Create a team
Use `Teammate spawnTeam` to create a team named "hello-team".

## Step 2: Spawn 3 teammates
Use the `Task` tool to spawn 3 teammates one by one (can be sent in parallel).
The spawn prompts are as follows:

- **teammate-1**:
  "You are teammate-1, one of the team members.
  Wait for a message from the team-lead.
  Upon receiving it, reply to the team-lead using `Teammate write` with the content 'me too'.
  Immediately after replying, wait for `shutdown_request`.
  When you receive it, reply 'approve' and exit.
  Do not do anything else proactively."

- **teammate-2**:
  "You are teammate-2, one of the team members.
  Wait for a message from the team-lead.
  Upon receiving it, reply to the team-lead using `Teammate write` with the content 'me too'.
  Immediately after replying, wait for `shutdown_request`.
  When you receive it, reply 'approve' and exit.
  Do not do anything else proactively."

- **teammate-3**:
  "You are teammate-3, one of the team members.
  Wait for a message from the team-lead.
  Upon receiving it, reply to the team-lead using `Teammate write` with the content 'me too'.
  Immediately after replying, wait for `shutdown_request`.
  When you receive it, reply 'approve' and exit.
  Do not do anything else proactively."

What Should Happen?

The teammate can exit properly.
