Description

### Checks

- [x] I have run `q doctor` in the affected terminal session
- [x] I have run `q restart` and replicated the issue again

### Operating system

macOS 15.5.0 (24F74)

### Expected behaviour

switch your agent by doing /agent use X or just /agent and then choosing the agent like with /model command,

### Actual behaviour

I also have to set the profile or agent I want to use as a default and restart the q chat tool losing context, a bit frustrating experience
