Bug Description
I tried to use the experimental Agent Teams feature. a few months ago it was working great. Recently there are a lot of problems with it. I have to prompt Claude 4 or 5 times before an agent is not spawned as a background/sub-agent. Than sometimes the permissions requests don't make it back to the leader, the agents don't respond back to the team-lead. When the agents where send shutdown requests they didn't always shutdown, I had to manually shut them down or exit the session to ensure all the agents went down.
I am currently using ubuntu with Tmux. I also tried Ghostty + tmux, that didn't help either.
