What issue are you seeing?

After using /plan mode with a request_user_input call, switching to a sub-agent (/agent) and back again repeats the request_user_input questioning/elicitation again.

Uploaded feedback for thread 019c8b3f-6a46-7fa2-9404-c1005f462c53.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

  1. Working in /plan mode.
  2. Agent uses request_user_input; submit answers.
  3. Agent turn ends, switch back to default collab mode.
  4. Ask the agent to implement the plan.
  5. Agent spawns a subagent.
  6. /agent to switch to subagent.
  7. /agent to switch back.
  8. Previous questions from request_user_input are immediately repeated.

What is the expected behavior?

Don't repeat the questions/elicitation!
