unstable extreme mode

I have encountered several issues while using Extreme Mode.1. High Instability:The feature is extremely unstable across various models, including the Claude series and open-source models, and  Grok series. In many cases, the system indicates it is performing an "Extreme Search"  but then it suddenly crashes and fails to produce any output. This has happened on multiple occasions.2. Lack of Process Transparency:Within Extreme Mode, the system no longer displays the actual search process. It only shows generic status updates like "thinking," "performing Extreme Search," or "doing the task." It fails to show the specific search strings being used or any other details regarding the processing stages.These are the two major problems I am currently facing.When it crashes, it shows as "Task Complete" as shown in this image, but there isn't any output.Additionally, as shown in the picture, I can't see any of the internal details of extreme mode
