What's Wrong?

When you run a multi-step command, sometimes the full summary (e.g. something like "step 5: summarize your work, list out X changes you made, Y things you need approval one, Z things that you were thinking about, etc.", it occasionally gets truncated).

This is intermittent, I believe it is related to a some sort of visible context cleanup in the terminal. It is new in 2.1.90. I have not previously seen this issue in 2.1.89.

What Should Happen?

When a complex prompt finishes that has an output block, that whole output block should be visible when the command stops.

Steps to Reproduce

Make a multi-step prompt that does a lot (e.g. a prompt telling subagents running "/simplify" in a loop until some outcome is reached might work, but "/simplify" is pretty simple, so maybe find something a bit more complex).

Then run this prompt 100 times. In 10 or so of those times, you will see that the final output is truncated.
