[BUG] Teammate agent crashes in tmux with error <Box> can't be nested inside <Text> component
Resolved 💬 5 comments Opened Apr 25, 2026 by ivan01march Closed Apr 28, 2026
What's Wrong?
Teammate pane crashes in tmux when a permission prompt appears (e.g., a request to read the parent directory ..).
The pane displays the error: ` <Box> can't be nested inside <Text> component `.
What Should Happen?
The permission prompt should render correctly in the teammate pane without crashing it.
