is there some rhyme or reason to "Agent" vs "Chat" being default on a PR page?
i feel like i do very rare "Agent" runs... but it keeps showing up 🤔 and then i click it and write a prompt because it looks the same, then i wait 10x as long as just using "Chat" and go "wait why hasn't this started yet" and then go "oh darn it, i did an Agent run instead of Chat like i wanted"

We directionally want to unify things under Agents, but yeah the startup times are a little rough right now. We're working on improvements, sorry for the trouble.

bumping on this, is startup time considered a priority before fully "unifying" with cursor agents? i'm currently evaluating graphite (we're already cursor customers), and i'm explicitly looking for something that doesn't take 10 minutes to spin up - losing the instantaneity of the "graphite chat" would be a no-go for us
