Same. I haven't used avante in a month or two, so I was surprised today when it updated and just started making changes and not actually answering queries or proposing changes. The behaviour persists even when I understand the desire to have this behaviour for some (i.e. 100% vibe coders), and having it as an option that can be enabled for those users is totally valid; but making it a seemingly mandatory across the board change is a bit weird (and a bit antithetical to anyone who would use neovim in the first place.) I'll have a look at the changelog tomorrow and see if the behaviour can be changed back. |

So three things I found since yesterday.
There is
- mode="legacy" you can put in your opts. I reached out to Yetone on
twitter and that is what he suggested. It works sometimes. Sometimes it
doesn't.
- when it shows you the suggestion, you can click on the 'c' option to go
to code. The suggestions in the code can be individually reviewed, So
that is nice.
- Switch to Gemini 2.5 Pro. That seems to still use the older style of
changes.
With option 2 - things are almost ok. However, you still don't see the
explanation _before_ it starts throwing code around, which is really
annoying. On the positive side - the reasoning is a lot deeper, and it
makes a lot fewer mistakes mis-aligning code. Too deep sometimes. For a
basic change it goes and overthinks things...

I'll try the legacy mode tomorrow and to see what happens. If the reasoning is more detailed in the new mode, that's great, but I still think being able to see that stream of consciousness is important. More often than not, I don't want the AI to apply all the changes, or even some of them; most of the time I'm going through the responses and only yanking the 5-6 lines that are actually relevant and incorporating them. I assume most experienced developers are actually using it this way (which is also why we're using neovim and not VS Code/Windsurf/Cursor) |

So I had to rollback to the @yetone is that the intended behaviour moving forward (no model output and auto-apply always)? |

I could swear that mode="legacy" worked once. Today it refuses to do anything. I am afraid to upgrade again :) One thing I have not tried is to put the replace_in_files in the disabled_tools array. I may actually do that tomorrow to test. I have a very extensive config, so if someone can spot something I am doing wrong, let me know |

Thanks, @bryanvaz. I love the rapid iteration of Avante and how quickly @yetone is moving it forward. I really want to avoid pinning to an old release. I really hope we get to a point really soon now when the proposals in #1956 is implemented. |

Legacy mode is still not working. It always uses agentic, no matter why, and agentic also simply doesn't work for me, it just stops before actually doing anything. |

yea this agentic shit is absolutely not usable. I need the legacy mode or im done with avante |

Not sure at what point the change was made, but the To return the previous behaviour you have to add the following to your require("avante").setup({
---@alias avante.Mode "agentic" | "legacy"
mode = "legacy",
...
disabled_tools = { "python", "replace_in_file" },
...
} |

Not sure what the issue is, you're definitely hitting some sort of edge case. I've got a couple of minutes while my coffee brews; post your full avante config and the git sha of your current avante install, and I'll have a look. |

So good news and bad news; Good News: I can't recreate the issue, Bad News: I can't recreate the issue. The only difference between my test env and your config is that I'm sending requests either directly to the model providers' native API or via copilot. Everything else is a reiteration of the defaults. Specifically, I cannot get the thinking context to ouput to the chat window. It is possible that I'd recommend by doing a full clean (remove Here's my config for your reference: init.luareturn {

Have others observed this behavior? It seems to have started in the last week. It makes life SO MUCH HARDER. Changes show up with no explanation and it is hard to do a proper review.
