### 2. How Are Follow-Up Execution Settings Selected? ### 2. How Are Follow-Up Execution Settings Selected?
**Status: open.** Decide which settings come from the follow-up request and **Status: accepted.** A continuation supplies existing conversational context

**Recommendation:** preserve conversation content while resolving the new **Accepted approach:** preserve conversation content while resolving the new

An explicit inheritance option is not selected for this feature; reconsider it

**Implementation planning detail:** specify message assembly order for captured

authored roles. This does not reopen the accepted execution-setting precedence.
