Descripción
### Describe the bug
When selecting **"Accept plan and build on autopilot + /fleet"** (`autopilot_fleet`) from the plan approval menu, fleet mode may not activate immediately. In my case, the agent continued working interactively for ~50 minutes, and fleet mode only activated after the interactive loop fully completed.
It appears the `exit_plan_mode` tool result tells the LLM "parallel subagent execution has started," but the `/fleet` message gets queued behind the already-running agentic loop and isn't processed until the loop finishes. Since this appears to be a race condition, it may not reproduce every time.
### Affected version
0.0.422
### Steps to reproduce the behavior
1. Start a session with `/plan` on a task with parallelizable work
2. Agent creates a plan and calls `exit_plan_mode` with `autopilot_fleet` as the recommended action
3. Select **"Accept plan and build on autopilot + /fleet"**
4. Confirm autopilot permissions when prompted
5. **Observe:** In my case, the agent immediately started working interactively (reading files, making edits) instead of entering fleet mode and dispatching sub-agents
6. Fleet mode only activated ~50 minutes later, after the interactive agentic loop fully completed
### Expected behavior
After selecting `autopilot_fleet`, the session should immediately enter fleet mode and the agent should begin dispatching parallel sub-agents via the `task` tool. The fleet mode prompt ("You are now in fleet mode. Dispatch sub-agents...") should be injected before the next model turn, not queued behind it.
### Additional context
- **OS:** Windows 11 (x64)
- **Terminal:** Windows Terminal
- **Shell:** PowerShell 7
- **Model:** claude-opus-4.6-1m
- **Session ID:** `24873767-9ee6-4297-8678-5866320fb3ab`
**Evidence from `~/.copilot/logs/`:**
| Timestamp (UTC) | Event |
|---|---|
| 14:47:57 | Model calls `exit_plan_mode` with `autopilot_fleet` |
| 14:55:55 | User approves plan -> tool returns "parallel subagent execution has started" |
| 14:56:07 | Model responds by reading files interactively (not fleet mode) |
| 15:09-15:41 | Sub-agents dispatched manually hit cascading API timeouts |
| **15:46:05** | Fleet mode finally activates (~50 min after approval) |
The `events.jsonl` shows the `exit_plan_mode` tool with `selected_action: "autopilot_fleet"` immediately followed by regular `view` tool calls, confirming the agent was not in fleet mode.
The fleet mode statement first appears in the log at 15:46:05 -- a new `configured settings` group starts at that point, indicating a fresh non-interactive session was created for fleet mode only after the interactive loop drained. This suggests a race condition where the fleet start message is queued behind the already-processing agentic loop.
