From f0813a5265d1384e1c5029100b488698b0acaed9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Roo Code Date: Sat, 2 Aug 2025 03:43:33 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] fix: allow conversational responses in Ask mode without forcing tool use - Modified Task.ts to check if we're in Ask mode before forcing tool use - When no tool is used in Ask mode, the conversation ends gracefully instead of retrying - Added tests to verify Ask mode allows conversational responses - Added tests to ensure other modes still enforce tool use Fixes #6581 --- src/core/task/Task.ts | 25 ++++- src/core/task/__tests__/Task.spec.ts | 138
