Bug Description

When using Kanban to assign tasks, the following problems exist:

1. When a task is suspended and then re-executed after supplementary information is provided, the agent loses the context of the previous task, causing the agent to start the task from scratch again.
2. If a task requires a check with the main agent or the user, the sub-agent executing the task will repeatedly time out and retry while waiting for further user input.

Steps to Reproduce

1. In the memory, let the agent need to interact further with the user (for example, requiring the agent to ask for the user's permission before executing the next step).
2. Assign a task to the agent in the Kanban.

Expected Behavior

When further user confirmation is needed, first suspend the task. At the same time, the task can be temporarily handed over to the main agent, allowing the main agent to ask the user.

Actual Behavior

The sub-agent repeatedly times out while waiting and then restarts execution.
