**Category:** fix **User Impact:** Users can place `@Agent` mentions inline anywhere in a message—even when that agent is also persistently addressed—so separate agents can receive separate instructions in the same message. **Problem:** Selecting an agent from the composer mention picker could turn the selection into persistent addressing instead of leaving an inline `@Agent` at the cursor. That made persistent addressing and inline composition mutually exclusive: once the persistent behavior took over, users lost the clear `@Agent A do X, @Agent B do Y` message structure they previously had. **Solution:** Make inline mentioning and persistent addressing independent behaviors: - Ordinary mention selections always insert `@Agent` inline at the current cursor position. - This remains true when the agent is already persistently addressed; the persistent audience never blocks or replaces an inline mention. - If **Automatically mention agents** is enabled, a successfully sent inline mention may additionally make that agent persistent for later messages. Existing saved preferences remain respected. - The dedicated automatic-mention control and primary+Shift+Enter shortcut continue to add or remove persistent addressing directly. - For users without a saved preference, **Automatically mention agents** now defaults off. <details> <summary>File changes</summary> **desktop/src/features/messages/lib/autoPinMentionedAgentsPreference.test.mjs** Updates preference coverage for the default-off behavior while preserving explicit saved choices. **desktop/src/features/messages/lib/autoPinMentionedAgentsPreference.ts** Defaults automatic post-send persistence off when no valid preference exists. **desktop/src/features/messages/ui/useAgentAddressLockPicker.test.mjs** Verifies ordinary picker selections insert inline mentions without changing or pulsing the persistent audience, including when the selected agent is already persistently addressed. **desktop/src/features/messages/ui/useAgentAddressLockPicker.ts** Keeps ordinary mention selection on the existing inline insertion path while preserving the separate persistent-address controls and shortcut. **desktop/tests/e2e/persistent-agent-audience.spec.ts** Covers separately targeted inline instructions to two agents, signed outgoing recipients, default-off persistence, and explicit opt-in persistence scenarios. </details> ## Reproduction steps ### Inline mentions without persistence 1. Open a channel with at least two available agents and leave **Automatically mention agents** disabled. 2. Use the composer mention picker to insert the first agent, type an instruction, then insert a second agent and type a different instruction. 3. Confirm the draft reads like `@Agent A review this, @Agent B test that` and neither agent appears in the persistent addressed-agent controls. 4. Send the message and confirm both agents are recipients while neither remains persistently addressed for the next draft. ### Inline mentions with persistence 1. Enable **Automatically mention agents**, then mention an agent inline and send successfully. 2. Confirm that agent becomes persistently addressed for later messages. 3. In a new draft, select the same agent from the mention picker again. 4. Confirm a new inline `@Agent` is inserted at the cursor while the agent remains persistently addressed. 5. Confirm the dedicated automatic-mention control and primary+Shift+Enter shortcut can still add or remove persistent addressing directly. ## Demo - **Before:** Persistent addressing could consume an ordinary picker selection, preventing users from placing that agent inline in the message. - **After:** Ordinary selection always produces an inline `@Agent`; persistence is a separate optional behavior that can coexist with inline mentions. ### Related issue N/A — reported through the Buzz feature room. ### Testing At `a4579c0a666f3644abe44271614186d7b9356bf5`: - Post-push hooks passed desktop check, desktop typecheck, and the full desktop unit suite. - The two persistence-focused Playwright smoke scenarios passed after explicitly opting into **Automatically mention agents**. - The one-time multi-agent targeting and persistent-address shortcut Playwright scenarios passed on the feature changes before the final rebase; CI is validating the rebased branch. --------- Signed-off-by: Taylor Ho <taylorkmho@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Carl <acda9e433d19dcd0e6b6840f7f4b98f3a56f1fab98049d444c087019e6d36560@buzz.block.builderlab.xyz>
