Description
I’d like the ability to switch from Work mode back to Chat mode while a task is in progress, without losing context.
Complex tasks often involve a loop of discussion → execution → review → discussion → execution. Work is great for execution, while Chat is better for discussing intermediate results and adjusting the plan.
It would be very useful to have a “Pause and Chat” option in Work, then resume the same Work task afterward with all context and progress preserved.

Research direction
The issue does not name files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the Work and Chat mode implementations and how task context and progress are stored; done means a user can pause Work, discuss intermediate results, and resume the same task without losing context.
