Warp Agent sessions hang indefinitely on "Warping..." until manually stopped

[zitzman]

Summary

Warp Agent sessions frequently hang on the "Warping..." state and never return a response, forcing manual stop/restart.

Problem

While using Warp Agent, sessions appear to stall indefinitely after sending a prompt. The user reports this happens consistently ("all the time"), blocks normal workflow, and is specific to Warp Agent behavior.

Expected behavior

After sending a prompt, Warp Agent should begin processing and return a response within a reasonable time without requiring manual intervention.

Actual behavior

The session remains in "Warping..." indefinitely with no visible work or output. Recovery requires clicking Stop and starting a new session.

Reproduction steps or desired workflow

1. Open a Warp Agent session.
2. Send a prompt.
3. Observe the session state remains on "Warping..." indefinitely.
4. Click Stop and start over to continue working.
5. Repeat; the user reports this occurs consistently.

This issue appears to overlap with existing issues:

• Warp is stuck on warping for hourse every time #9134 — Warp is stuck on warping for hourse every time
• Agent hangs 4ever when it's monitoring compiling to 100% #9174 — Agent hangs 4ever when it's monitoring compiling to 100%

If this report is meaningfully different, please comment with the additional context or distinguishing behavior so a maintainer can review it. Otherwise, a maintainer may close it as a duplicate after review.

Maintainer details

I concluded that warp Agent appears to remain indefinitely in the in-progress “Warping...” state after prompts, matching existing Agent hang reports and likely involving an Agent response stream that does not emit a terminal progress, error, or finished event..

Duplicate reasoning

• Warp is stuck on warping for hourse every time #9134: Both reports describe Warp/Agent getting stuck on the Warping state for an extended period during Agent use, requiring interruption or restart rather than returning a response.
• Agent hangs 4ever when it's monitoring compiling to 100% #9174: Both reports describe the Agent hanging indefinitely with Warping visible and requiring manual recovery, even though Agent hangs 4ever when it's monitoring compiling to 100% #9174 provides a more specific long-running-command trigger.

This is my automated analysis and may be incorrect. A maintainer will verify the details.
