Mistral Vibe: Messages Sent While the Agent Waits Now Reach It at Once
Mistral VibeA message sent while the agent only waits for subagents or background processes now reaches it immediately instead of staying queued until the wait ends. The status line now says what the agent is waiting for and that a message will reach it at once. The "Interrupted" marker also no longer jumps below later messages when the agent starts a background process.
Key Takeaways
- Messages are delivered immediately while the agent waits on subagents or background processes, instead of being queued.
- Users can redirect long-running work without waiting for the wait to end.
- The status line now names what the agent waits for.
- It also states that a message reaches the agent at once.
- The "Interrupted" marker stays in place instead of jumping below later messages.
- The change targets sessions that lean on subagents and background processes.
Talking to an Agent That Is Waiting
Before this release, a message typed while the Mistral Vibe agent was waiting for its subagents or background processes stayed queued until the wait finished. Mistral Vibe 3.1.2 changes this: the message is delivered at once, so users can redirect or correct the agent while long work runs elsewhere.
A Clearer Status Line
While the agent only waits for background work, the status line now names what it is waiting for and states that a message reaches it immediately. This removes the guesswork about whether typing is safe during a long wait.
Interrupted Marker Fix
The "Interrupted" marker no longer jumps below later messages when the agent starts a background process, which keeps the transcript in the order events happened.
