reproduction:

  • in plan mode agent asks me a question in regards to the plan with options (a/b/c)
  • i dont select question i write in the text box where i write more detailed answer or an option that was not provided
  • when i send message, the agent first recognizes the question unanswered (chooses one on its own) and start modifying the plan (e.g. to fulfill option b)
  • while that is happening, the chat continues, agent is thinking and only here it sees the message i sent manually
  • realizes i wanted an option that was not provided and start modifying the plan
  • now both modifications are happening at the same time

Hey, thanks for the report. This is indeed a race condition: when you manually type a reply, the agent already starts automatically selecting an option and modifying the plan, then it reads your message and runs a second modification in parallel.

I’ve passed this on to the dev team. For now, to avoid the issue, it’s best to select options directly in the UI instead of typing in the text box.

Let me know if this is critically blocking your work.
