[FEATURE]: Show agent type and session ID in Task tool call display #16287
Description
- I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.
Describe the enhancement you want to request
Related to #15915 -- this extends that request with session ID display and covers custom agents.
Right now, when a Task tool call runs in the TUI, the only thing shown is the description and tool call count:
│ Task Get today's date
0 toolcalls · 2.2s
There's no way to tell which agent type is running or which session it belongs to. When you're orchestrating multiple subagents in sequence -- say an explore followed by a general, or custom agents like an architect and a reviewer -- you can't tell at a glance which one is active or which completed task came from where.
What it would look like
│ Task Get today's date [general · ses_33e4e22aeffe...]
0 toolcalls · 2.2s
│ Task Find latest Nuxt version [explore · ses_33e4d822fffe...]
1 toolcalls · 9.3s
Why it matters
- When multiple subagent types run concurrently or in sequence, you can tell which is which
- The session ID helps correlate tasks with the subagent navigation keybinds
- Built-in agents (Explore, General) have recognizable names, but custom agents defined in AGENTS.md frontmatter don't show up anywhere in the task display right now
I have a working concept of this locally and can put together a PR if there's interest.

This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:
If your request is specifically about adding session ID display alongside agent type (extending #15915), please note that in the linked issue or confirm this is intentionally scoped differently.

Acknowledged -- this intentionally extends #15915 with session ID display and a working concept implementation. I commented on #15915 with a combined visual proposal. Happy to consolidate if maintainers prefer.
