### Describe the Bug

When you are in plan mode and the agent asks a question, there’s an edge case. If the immediate response of the agent is to edit the plan, the agent hangs.

### Steps to Reproduce

1. go in plan mode
2. have agent make first version of plan
3. prompt it something that will make it ask a question
4. give answer to the question and ask it to edit plan immediately
5. agent does not continue

### Expected Behavior

agent should continue, editing the plan immediately

### Operating System

Hey, thanks for the report. This is a known issue with auto-resume after answering questions in plan mode.

The team recently fixed a related bug about timeouts after AskQuestion in plan mode. Your case might be covered by the same fix, and it should be rolling out in the next few releases.

To help confirm whether your case is related to that fix, can you share the Request ID? You can copy it from the chat context menu (top right corner \> Copy Request ID) after the bug happens.

@babala, are you seeing the same thing? If yes, please share the Request ID too if you can.
