Explanation

When deploying an Agentforce Service Agent from sandbox to production via a change set or deployment, the agent is always deployed in an inactive state and must be manually activated in production. This is a deliberate Salesforce safety mechanism to prevent agents from going live without an explicit human sign-off in the production environment. The active/inactive status from sandbox is not carried over, and activation is never automatic regardless of the flow's status or deployment success. This prevents unintended customer-facing impact.
