Cli cannot enable /yolo mode mid turn

[grantborthwick]

Describe the bug

If you type /yolo while an agent turn is ongoing, it won't let you submit it until after the agent's turn has ended, and you have to keep approving everything manually until the end of the turn

Affected version

GitHub Copilot v0.0.404

Steps to reproduce the behavior

copilot
Send some prompt that takes a bunch of actions
Mid-actions, type /yolo, and press enter

Expected behavior

No longer have to approve subsequent actions. Instead it keeps prompting you, and you can't send /yolo until the turn ends.

Additional context

No response

[examon]

This should be resolved in newer releases. The /yolo and /allow-all commands now execute immediately during agent turns instead of being queued until the turn completes, so subsequent tool calls are auto-approved. There is still a narrow edge case where you can't type the command while a permission dialog is actively displayed, but it does work between dialogs. If you're still seeing the original behavior, please feel free to reopen this issue.
