Before submitting
- I searched existing issues and did not find a duplicate.
- I included enough detail to reproduce or investigate the problem.
Area
apps/web
Steps to reproduce
- Launch sub-agents
- Look below the list of launches sub-agents in the chat
Expected behavior
I think something like "Waiting for sub-agents" would be better and more consistent here
Actual behavior
Just a minor UI issue, but while the parent is waiting for sub-agents it always shows "Thinking" state, even when the parent isn't thinking

Thanks for the report! This is the same problem tracked in #17767: while the parent run is still open waiting on foreground subagents, the timeline shows the generic "Thinking" row instead of a "Waiting on subagents" state. The broader product direction is being discussed in #18499.
Closing this as a duplicate so the discussion stays in one place. If you're seeing it with a provider other than OpenCode, please add a note on #17767 with which provider you used so it gets covered too.
