What's Wrong?

When there are subagents running, the main session has recommendations on what to do next in the command box. The main session is saying "I need to wait for the subagents before going on to task 23 because it has dependences on task 22". And the recommendation says "go on to task 23". There are many scenarios like this where the session text is saying one thing and the recommended next step in the command box says something completely different.

What Should Happen?

Claude should either not make a recommendation when it's waiting, or make recommendations that are not contradictory.

Error Messages/Logs

Steps to Reproduce

Use superpowers to build a spec and a plan for a decent sized task. When subagents are running, about 50% of the recommendations while waiting contradict the main session.
