### Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Background Agent (GitHub, Slack, Web, Linear)

### Describe the Bug

I really enjoy to @cursor on my github issues to start a conversation about the issue. However, after Cursor bot has responded to my request, if I @cursor again to give it follow up instructions, it will create a new background Agent to treat my follow up question.

### Steps to Reproduce

@cursor once on github, then @ it again and watch it create a separate background agent for the second request

### Expected Behavior

I’d like the agent to consider my comment as a follow up prompt, and re-use the existing conversation with the agent that was created for the first @.

My main motivation is that, when working on multiple issues at once, the list of agents quickly becomes an absolute mess and I can’t remember which agent has been “superseeded” by another or not.
