Bug Description
there's a very frequent bug where permission prompts don't go through. the session just hangs with "waiting..." and I don't see any prompt. I think it happens when the model submits the tool call while I'm looking at "detailed output mode" via ctrl+o. That's the pattern I've noticed, its always happening near a time when I was using ctrl+o.

the workaround is I have to hit esc and ask the model to try again.

you can see it several turns above in this session where I said "ui bug, sorry, plz try again".

right after:

⏺ Bash(PYTHONPATH= /Users/danielwaltrip/all-files/projects/code/generals-ai/.venv/bin/python -c "
      import sys…)

Not "completed", just a duplicate issue. Bug still exists.

I've just found another workaround for some cases:

For some tool requests (e.g. bash commands) you can hit ctrl+b to have it run in the background, and you don't have to ask the model to redo the command. Still not ideal, but perhaps slightly better.
