[Bug] Random text insertion in agent harness under high concurrent load (20+ agents)
Bug Description
Issue: Random "hello" text insertions in agent harness when running 20+ Claude Code Terminal CLI agents simultaneously on Mac
Details:
• Occurs consistently when running more than 20 agents concurrently
• Below 20 agents, everything works fine
• Random "hello" strings appear inserted into the main agent harness
• Ruled out tmux and external causes
• Only happens under high agent load
• Agents otherwise function correctly, but the crosstalk is concerning
Environment: Claude Code Terminal CLI (not SDK or direct API calls), macOS
Reproducibility: Consistently replicable at 20+ concurrent agents
This appears to be a multi-agent isolation or resource contention issue that becomes apparent at scale.
