**Category:** new-feature **User Impact:** Users can keep selected agents addressed across consecutive messages without retyping their handles. **Problem:** Repeated conversations with agents require manually typing the same mentions on every turn, which adds friction and makes recipients easy to omit. **Solution:** The composer can now keep agents automatically addressed per channel, either from the mention controls or after a successful inline mention. Addressed agents remain visible in the toolbar, apply to channel threads, survive send failures safely, and never cross community boundaries. ## Changes <details> <summary>File changes</summary>

Open a channel with one or more agents and open the mention picker from the composer. 2. Select an agent for automatic mentions, then send several messages without retyping the handle; confirm the agent remains in the composer control and receives each message. 3. Mention another agent inline, send successfully, and confirm the agent becomes automatically addressed; use the notification's Undo action to reverse it. 4. Open a thread in the same channel and confirm the same addressed agents are available there. 5. Remove an agent from the composer control and confirm later messages stop addressing it. 6. Switch communities and confirm addressed agents do not carry into the other community. ## Screenshots All states below use the dark Buzz theme with a selected lilac accent. ### Addressed composer Selected agents stay visible at the composer ingress without adding handles to the draft.  ### Open mention menu The @ ingress opens the existing mention menu and shows which agents are already addressed.  ### Mention options The inline options pane controls whether a successful one-time agent mention carries into later messages.  ### Agent settings The same preference is available in **Settings → Agents → Conversations**.  --------- Signed-off-by: Taylor Ho <taylorkmho@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Rizz <302abe414ca6e3134763d2539bfcf145aea2a63fe5f8455204ed602fd40cf381@buzz.block.builderlab.xyz> Co-authored-by: Carl <acda9e433d19dcd0e6b6840f7f4b98f3a56f1fab98049d444c087019e6d36560@buzz.block.builderlab.xyz>
