How does the overlay window handle running agent states and completions?

The overlay window displays running agent states using visual indicators like pulsing borders and spinners. Upon completion, it shows successful or error states with options to view results or cancel running agents directly.

What happens when an agent requires complex confirmation forms?

For complex confirmation forms, the full UI automatically opens in a new window. This ensures users have sufficient screen space to interact with detailed dialogs without being constrained by the 280x500px overlay window.
