Bug (in Agent View)

Background agents that are sleeping (e.g. waiting 10 minutes via ScheduleWakeup) or running a /loop cycle sometimes appear in the "Ready for Review" section of the UI instead of remaining in their own "Running" or "Sleeping" section.

Expected behaviour

Agents in a sleep/loop state should stay in whatever section represents active-but-waiting background jobs. They haven't produced a final result and aren't awaiting user review.

Actual behaviour

These agents intermittently show up under "Ready for Review", which implies they've completed and need attention. Clicking into them shows they're still mid-loop or sleeping.

Steps to reproduce

open claude with claude agents
Start a background agent with a /loop or a long ScheduleWakeup delay (~10 minutes)
Check the job list while the agent is sleeping
Observe the agent listed under "Ready for Review" instead of an active/sleeping section

Environment

Claude Code CLI (macOS)
Opus model

Thanks for reporting — confirmed and fixed. Self-driving agents (/loop, ScheduleWakeup, routines) now stay in Working between ticks instead of surfacing under Ready for Review when they have an open PR.

Ships in v2.1.141 (tomorrow).
