Toast Delay

[hoaxnerd]

idea / problem

With background subagents running in workflow mode (claude code), transient states are being resolved as finished and hence getting spammed with notifications.

I'm sure this can be solved with better integration depth to different CLIs (CC, Codex etc) but this is a general solution for now which would ease the impact, and who doesn't like a delay option ?

requested change

add [ui.toast] delay_seconds — wait N seconds, then notify only if still blocked/finished.

why you want this

herdr notifies the instant an agent goes blocked/finished, sometimes it's a false alarm which gets resolved itself in 1-2 seconds and thus a delay would help.

+1 to this, I'm experiencing noisy toasts when Claude agents quickly move from working -> blocked -> working before actually being blocked / done / idle.

I'd guess that's a limitation of claude's agent state hooks but a delay before flushing the most recent notification would probably resolve this.

moved this into the tracking issue for the toast ergonomics pass: #486

closing this discussion now so implementation can be tracked in one place.
