Please give users the option to disable mode switch and use subtasks only

[devlux76]

I've been using this for a couple weeks now. I've had dozens of successes up and including a one shot refactor on a mission critical code base. The tool seems to always work best when it uses subtask delegation instead of mode switching. In fact most of my failures really seem to start with a mode switch when a delegation should have occurred.

Modes don't seem to know to ever switch back, but subtasks almost always end correctly. Plus the returning process seems to condense and summarize and things don't get so easily lost in translation. I'd like to ask you for the ability to either mode switch or delegate via subtasks and have that be a configurable, perhaps even a per prompt option.

Hi @devlux76.

Would disabling the mode switching auto-approval in settings work as you want or is that not what you mean?

Ohh that's actually perfect! Sorry I didn't even think about that. I'll try it that way for a day or two. Let you know what I think.

I have actually found a few times where it was in fact more useful to mode switch than to subtask. Times when the filled context was needed and just leaving it to the context compressor to keep the context within range. That's happening so fast I didn't notice. Great work guys!

Ok so I just tried it with that, and what happens is it's still asking for a mode switch, it's just not automatically making the mode switch. Ideally it would automatically delegate because mode switch isn't enabled.

I've been away for a month and WOW I am completely satisfied with the new UX it's amazing! Thank you!
