What feature would you like to see?

When agent #1 is running the main implementation, I want agent #2 to continuously review the implementation, suggest fixes, and apply corrections until agent #1 has fully completed.

Right now, the reviewer agent sometimes finishes too early while the implementation agent is still working. When that happens, I have to manually prompt the reviewer agent to continue reviewing until agent #1 is done.

It would be useful if dependent agents could remain active based on another agent’s lifecycle. For example:

“Keep agent #2 running as a reviewer until agent #1 finishes.”

This would make multi-agent workflows smoother because the review/fix agent would not stop prematurely while the main implementation is still in progress.

Existing requests cover subagents, review queueing, and shared message buses, but this request is specifically for agent lifecycle dependency: agent #2 should not declare itself done while agent #1 is still running unless explicitly stopped or until the parent/orchestrator confirms the dependency has completed.
