Let me have my chat mode CMD+L. I like to ask questions and review changes visually before hand. Now it’s not even letting me apply changes it chat cause it’s “read-only”. It wants me to switch to agent mode. I made sure I kept the CMD+L after they removed it, and it will still open up in Agent without me realizing.

What gives?
