What's Wrong?
Description:
A session's sidebar entry shows a "Running" status tooltip even after the assistant has finished responding and the session has been idle for 10+ minutes with no active turn, background task, scheduled wakeup, or tool call pending.
Notes: Verified from inside the session that no background bash jobs, scheduled triggers, or pending agent calls were attached to it — appears to be a UI/status-sync issue rather than an actual hung process.
What Should Happen?
Actual: Status tooltip continues to show "Running" indefinitely.

Steps to Reproduce
Steps to reproduce:
Start a long multi-turn Claude Code session with several tool calls (file edits, bash commands, MCP calls)
Let the assistant finish a turn normally (no errors, no background tasks left running)
Wait 10+ minutes without sending another message
Hover the session's status indicator in the sidebar
Expected: Status should show idle/not-running once the turn completes and no background work remains.
