Feature Request: Add support for streaming intermediate steps and progress updates from the subagent to the UI.

Open williamchen433 opened this issue 1 month ago • 4 comments

Description: Enable the frontend to receive and display real-time progress updates and intermediate results from the subagent during execution. This will allow users to monitor ongoing tasks, understand current status, and gain transparency into the subagent’s workflow.

I fully support this feature request. As someone currently implementing a real time UI with a chunk-wise streaming UI I've encountered this exact limitation.

The sub-agent steps can take a while and with the average user's attention span being 3 seconds, they need something to look at :)))

Likewise, would love to contribute as well if the team hasn't planned on doing this

Yes, i would also love this feature.

I feel like StreamWriter with updates and custom would be great. It's super helpful for the user, but also for me to debug stuff.
