Description

Cannot reliably change the Agent

When trying to change the Agent, it often just no-ops without any feedback. I've also seen it show as though the agent has been changed, but then after the next prompt it reverts to the Default agent.

I have not yet found a reliable pattern or repro.

Research direction

Start in the /chat experience and try changing the Agent on app version 1.0.25 under Windows 10. Investigate the reported no-op and reversion to the Default agent; done means an agent change gives feedback and remains selected after the next prompt.
