Auto-Reply Toggle for Recent Agent in Threads #5096

Description

@2-X

Summary

Add an optional toggle to automatically direct replies to the last invoked agent in a thread when that agent has been mentioned in the thread or the originating message.

Problem

In multi-agent conversations, manually specifying which agent to reply to creates friction. When working with an agent across several messages, each reply requires explicitly re-mentioning the agent or re-selecting the target.

Proposed Solution

Implement a global toggle (opt-in) that:

  • Detects when an agent has been mentioned in the current thread or the thread-starting message
  • Automatically routes new replies to that last invoked agent
  • Remains active until the user disables it

This mirrors the mental model from Slack threads where conversation flows naturally within a thread without re-tagging participants on every message.

Scope

  • Toggle state is thread-local
  • Off by default
  • Clears when switching channels or threads
