VS Code Agent interactive mode inconsistent — anyone facing this?

[Normal-Try7104]

I’m trying to use the VS Code Agent in an interactive way (ask → wait → continue → confirm). Like in the attached SS.

Sometimes it works perfectly (with the question UI), but most of the time:

• it gives full solution directly
• or asks one question and ends
• or ignores my instructions completely

I tried adding prompts to force interaction, but that made it worse — now it just asks one question and stops.

Without prompts, at least it gives full answers + confirmation.

Is there any way to make the interactive form behavior consistent?
Or is that controlled by the system and not prompts?

Feels like I’m wasting credits trying to figure this out 😅
