Bug: Plan approval in autopilot+fleet mode triggers execution with fleet dispatch ordering mismatch #2833

Description

When approving a plan in plan mode while using autopilot+fleet, the plan approval immediately triggers execution AND fleet agent dispatch simultaneously. The "Queued (1)" and "Fleet deployed" messages appear while the main agent is still "Analyzing bugs and planning fixes," suggesting a sequencing/ordering issue between the main agent's work and fleet dispatch.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Enter plan mode and create a plan (e.g., with multiple bugs/features)
  2. Switch to autopilot+fleet mode
  3. Copilot recommends committing to the plan with autopilot+fleet
  4. Approve/select that recommendation

Expected Behavior

Plan approval should properly sequence execution — the main agent's analysis should be coordinated with fleet agent dispatch, not race against it.

Actual Behavior

Fleet dispatch ("Queued (1)", "Fleet deployed") fires concurrently with the main agent beginning its "Analyzing bugs and planning fixes" phase. This ordering mismatch suggests the fleet agents are dispatched before the main agent has finished planning/coordinating the work.
