🐛 Known issue (fix in progress): agent didn't auto-start on 'from ticket / conversation' and PR-review sessions

[edgar-durand]

Status: ✅ Resolved — fixed and deployed.

We identified a bug affecting sessions launched from:

• Start from a work item (Jira, Linear, GitHub Issues, Azure DevOps, Trello, ClickUp)
• Start from a conversation (Slack, Discord)
• PR/MR review (sending an agent to review a pull request)

What happened: a race condition during session startup could prevent the agent from automatically starting to work on the task. The session paired correctly, but the initial prompt didn't always dispatch on its own.

Impact: limited to the auto-start of those three launch flows — manually sending a prompt in the session still worked.

Fix: ✅ deployed. No action needed — these flows auto-start reliably again. If a past session stalled at startup, just launch a fresh one.

We'll update this thread when it's fully deployed. Thanks for your patience! 💜

✅ Update: fixed and deployed.

Sessions launched from Start from a work item, Start from a conversation, and PR/MR review now reliably auto-start the agent. The root cause was a startup race condition where the first task could be dispatched before the session's relay was ready to accept it — it now retries until the session is live, so the agent begins work on its own.

The fix is live across the app and backend. No action needed; if a past session stalled at startup, just launch a fresh one. Thanks for the patience! 💜
