Bug Description
CLI just starts downloading tokens, most of the times when I saw and interrupted it it was above 30k tokens and stuck after tool call. This is serious issue which might just block a GPU for no apparent reason. I am not sure what's the actual issue, could be context poisoning for it to start assuming something, I also don't have ability to see the downloaded tokens.
Steps to Reproduce
Happens sometimes right after tool call
Expected Behavior
For it to not consume tokens
Actual Behavior
Just downloading tokens without any info in UI, neither any actions performed
