 ### Fixed
 - New lifecycle event subscriptions now stream only events emitted after subscription begins instead of replaying retained history. (#1270)
 - Windows users whose endpoint security blocks the fileless PowerShell install command can now use a local `install.cmd` bootstrap; installer downloads use `curl.exe` while preserving package checksum verification. (#2751)
+- Oh My Pi panes now stay working when a turn ends with an automatic continuation already scheduled, instead of briefly reporting idle and completing `agent wait` early. (#2851, thanks @taoeffect)
 - Retained mouse selections now copy when Ctrl+C or Cmd+C arrives before a delayed mouse release instead of forwarding the copy shortcut to the pane. (#3100, thanks @moret)
 - Removing a background worktree workspace no longer changes focus to its parent workspace. (#3098)
 - Prefix bindings such as `prefix+|` now recognize characters produced by macOS Option and custom keyboard layouts, while exact chords such as `prefix+alt+w` keep priority. (#3079, thanks @vlcinsky)
