## Open now

- PR #32552: fix(cli): enhance /agents and /tasks commands to show active agents

The three members all concern the CLI's /agents and /tasks commands: one bug report says they do nothing, and two pull request titles describe changes to dispatch /agents while an agent is running and to show active agents. The titles alone do not confirm root cause or outcome.

## TL;DR

- 3 member(s): 0 open issue(s), 1 closed issue(s), 1 open PR(s), 0 merged PR(s), 1 PR(s) closed without merging.
- No fix has been merged to main; one or more PRs were attempted (see below).
- **Recommended:** review the prior/competing PR(s) below. A fix was attempted but not merged; your case may extend or revive that work.
