⏺ Dynamic workflow "Two parallel agents each run sleep 60 via Bash and return done" completed · 1m 44s

⏺ The probe-two-agents workflow finished without errors, and both agents returned done.

  - Time: it took about 104 seconds in total, which is longer than the 60-second sleep, so the agents ran at the same time rather than one after the other. The
    extra ~44 seconds went on agent startup and model calls.
  - Tokens: the two agents used about 74k tokens between them.
  - Tool calls: they made 9 tool calls in total, where 2 would have been enough. I didn't look at the per-agent log (journal.jsonl in the run's transcript
    directory) to see why.

❯ Now do two things and do not wait for either: (1) start a background agent with the Agent tool (run_in_background true, description "probe sleeper agent")
  whose job is to run "sleep 45" via Bash and return done; (2) run the shell command "sleep 50" with the Bash tool using run_in_background true. Then end your
  turn immediately.

⏺ Both are running in the background:
  1. The agent "probe sleeper agent" is running sleep 45. The Agent tool has no run_in_background option because it always runs agents in the background.
  2. sleep 50 is running as background shell task bjawg0ioa.

✻ Waiting for 1 background agent to finish

⏺ Agent "probe sleeper agent" finished · 16s

⏺ The probe sleeper agent hasn't returned done yet. Instead of running sleep 45 directly, it ran it as a background command, so it stopped early with "I'm
  waiting for the background sleep 45 to finish". It may pick up again and report back when that sleep ends. The separate sleep 50 shell task is still running.

✻ Churned for 22s · done 11:41 AM · 1 monitor still running

⏺ Background command "Sleep for 50 seconds in background" completed (exit code 0)

⏺ The background sleep 50 finished cleanly (exit code 0). The probe sleeper agent still hasn't sent its final done. Its sleep 45 should be over by now, so I'm
