Hey, thanks for the report. This is a known issue with mode state management. The mode selection is currently shared globally per agent, not scoped per prompt, which causes the exact race condition you described.

Workaround for now: avoid switching modes on queued prompts right after resending an edited one. If you need different modes per prompt, wait for the first one to fully dispatch before changing the mode on the next.

The team is aware of this. Your report with clear repro steps helps with prioritization. We’ll update here if there’s news.
