## Message

```
agent_ui: Fix message editor not expanding after sending a message (#52545)

Context

Tracks the previous `v2_empty_state` so `set_mode()` only fires on
actual state transitions, not every render frame.

Closes #52424

## How to review

1. `crates/agent_ui/src/conversation_view/thread_view.rs` — adds a
`was_v2_empty_state` field to gate the `set_mode()` call in
`render_message_editor()` so it only runs on transitions
2. `crates/agent_ui/src/agent_panel.rs` — test verifying that manually
setting the editor to Full mode survives a render cycle without being
reset back to AutoHeight
