abtop misses monitoring of Claude Code personal-plan agents

A new open issue reports that abtop on macOS does not show activity for Claude Code agents running under a personal plan, so one class of agent sessions is invisible in terminal monitoring even during active chats.

What is Different

Before

Scattered source updates, isolated context, and manual follow-up across multiple feeds.

Now

This report identifies a concrete monitoring gap: abtop’s activity capture logic appears not to include personal-plan Claude Code sessions, limiting its ability to track all running agents in mixed-plan workflows.

Why Track This

Why It Matters

Developers and operators using abtop may think personal-plan Claude Code agents are idle because the tool shows no terminal activity, which can hide real work and delay debugging or workload decisions. This likely indicates a session-detection/filtering mismatch in plan-aware process classification, so fix verification should check whether personal-plan sessions are now detected across terminals while ensuring no regression in team-plan visibility or duplicate activity records.

What To Watch Next

  • Watch whether abtop becomes a repeated pattern.
  • Track follow-up changes around Agent Evaluation and Observability.
  • Compare future signals against this evidence trail.
  • Re-check risk flags: personal_plan_sessions_not_tracked, false_inactive_status_for_running_agents.
