Unclear how to "approve" a change, and also how to get a chat out of Read Only mode?

Hi there, I just tried out this platform for the first time today. I really like how it auto-discovers Claude and Gemini and gets them all to work together!

One thing that wasn't clear to me (as a heavy Claude Code user) was the exact steps required for approving a change. I literally just typed "Approve" that seems to work except for when the tool is in Read Only mode. For that, I couldn't find any documentation on how to exit that mode without exiting the tool.

Could someone clarify the optimal workflow for approving changes and switching between editing modes, like CC makes very easy to do with its built-in keyboard shortcuts?

Usually you'll see a UI with a prompt to approve a command. Sometimes GPT-5 gets a bit confused and thinks it needs to ask you for approval. This is due to the way the prompt is worded by OpenAI (I've seen it too).

Unfortunately we're stuck with this prompt unless OpenAI change it as we can't alter the core prompt. I'm sure they'll fix it soon upstream which will then resolve it on our end.

If you're not working on something really critical, I'd suggest trying Full Auto mode (switch using Shift+Tab like CC). Run the /branch command first to let it run in an isolated worktree. GPT-5 really excels in full auto mode and it's much more likely to automatically fix any issues it encounters. Using /branch allows you to let it run freely, then assess the final output before using /merge to bring it back into your main branch.
