Feedback ID: no-active-thread-01a04167-0e73-7b32-bcf8-64e058886166
What is the expected behavior?
Computer Use should remain enabled for the entire browser task unless I explicitly turn it off, so the task can continue without interruption.

The issue is recurring and blocks completion of browser-based work.
