What happened?

There appears to be a UI bug in Gemini CLI 0.38.2.

When running multiple parallel subagents, the summary view displays the same status tagline across all subagents, even though in reality each one is performing completely different operations at that time.

Note that the display does correctly distinguish completed from active subagents:

What did you expect to happen?

The summary line for each subagent should display the ,current tool being run by that particular subagent. Currently, it appears that one of them clobbers the display for all other subagents, so they all show the same.

TL;DR

The issue can be potentially resolved by updating the Gemini CLI to a version where the bug is fixed, if available, or by implementing a workaround to handle the status updates for parallel subagents.

Guidance

  • Verify the current behavior by running multiple parallel subagents and checking the summary view to confirm the status tagline issue.
  • Check the Gemini CLI documentation or release notes for any known issues or fixes related to the summary view and parallel subagents in version 0.38.2.
  • If a fix is not available, consider implementing a temporary workaround, such as manually tracking the status of each subagent or using an alternative method to display the current tool being run by each subagent.
  • Review the provided images and client information to ensure that the issue is not related to a specific configuration or environment setting.

Notes

The provided information does not include a clear solution or fix for the issue, and the root cause is not explicitly stated. Therefore, the guidance is focused on troubleshooting and potential workarounds.

Recommendation

Apply workaround, as there is no clear indication of a fixed version available that addresses this specific issue.
