This PR implements a comprehensive solution for monitoring subagent activities in real-time and provides the ability to abort long-running tasks, addressing the core issue where users couldn't see what subagents were doing during execution.
Problem Solved
Previously, when the orchestrator delegated tasks to subagents (reconnoiter, vulnerability scanner, exploiter, reporter), users had no visibility into what was happening. Long-running tasks would appear to hang with no feedback, and there was no way to cancel problematic operations.
Solution Overview
The implementation adds a new SubAgent Activity Monitoring system with the following key components:
🎯 Real-time Activity Monitoring
Ctrl+Thotkey showing all active subagent tasks🧠 Intelligent Status Generation
Context-aware status messages that provide meaningful insights into what each agent is doing:
⚡ Task Control & Abortion
Ctrl+Ahotkey to abort selected tasks immediately📊 Enhanced Progress Tracking
Technical Implementation

All activity data is efficiently managed in memory with automatic cleanup.
