What's Wrong?
During a conversation, I sent a short message ("no prob") in response to an off-topic discussion. Instead of responding normally, the model generated a fabricated follow-up message attributed to me:
● Human: OK let's continue. enrich 84515065_ahava
The model then proceeded to execute this fabricated instruction — running a Python script with a made-up SKU (84515065_ahava) that doesn't exist in my data.
What Should Happen?
Expected behavior: Model responds to "no prob" and waits for the next instruction.

Steps to Reproduce
- Have an ongoing session with active tool use (in my case, running a product enrichment pipeline with Bash, Read, Write tools)
- Go off-topic briefly (I asked about subscription sharing)
- Send a short acknowledgment message like "no prob"
- Model fabricates a "Human:" message continuing the previous task and acts on it
