Desktop app: session in Recents keeps showing a blinking/flashing status dot that won't clear

What happened

In the Claude Code desktop app, one session in the Recents sidebar keeps showing a small status dot that blinks/flashes continuously. It does not clear on its own.

The session has no running or pending background tasks (verified inside the session: all tasks show completed, no active agents/workflows). So the flashing indicator does not seem to reflect any actual ongoing work.

Expected

The status dot should clear once the session has no active/background work and its completion notifications have been seen — it should not keep flashing indefinitely.

Steps to reproduce (best guess)

Not reliably reproducible, but it appeared after a session that had earlier run background tasks (a multi-agent Workflow that completed successfully). After the work finished, the flashing dot on that session in Recents persisted.

Things already tried

• Opening the session and viewing it (dot keeps flashing)
• Confirming there are no running background tasks in the session

Environment

• Claude Code: 2.1.185
• OS: macOS 14.8.5 (build 23J423)
• Surface: Desktop app (Recents sidebar)

Notes

Possibly a stale UI/notification state that isn't being reset after background tasks complete. A screenshot of the Recents list (with the affected session highlighted) can be attached in the app.
