What's Wrong?

I use claude agents as a session manager, which I think is where it's real power lies, with a --pwd so that I can have one terminal tab per project and have all my various sessions/jobs for that project in one view.

Recently ← for agents has started displaying in places where I've just done a claude or claude -c - i've not opened the claude agents view. Pressing back gets me to a confusing global view of all agents that never applied to the folder I'm in.

What Should Happen?

It's too opinionated, I can't imagine how productive people are using claude agents without it being limited to a per-project view with --pwd. I'd love to hear your tales if you think I'm using this feature wrong, it's been great for me this way though.

Fix: ← for agents shouldn't display on sessions that weren't initiated/entered into from the claude agents view

Error Messages/Logs

Steps to Reproduce

claude in any folder
Note ← for agents appears, or that you can press left to get back to an unwanted global agents view
