feat: make the text bar persistent and add a queue for messages by alexhancock · Pull Request #7560 · block/goose

alexhancock · 2026-02-27T01:57:18Z

Couple things in the ACP-based TUI...

Make the text entry bar persistent
Add support for queing up messages

Nice small-ish improvements that set the stage next for slash commands and more to be added

+              height={
+                bodyHeight -
+                (isLatest && queuedMessages.length > 0
+                  ? queuedMessages.length
+                  : 0)


Clamp turn body height before subtracting queued messages

When users queue more prompts than the available response rows (common on short terminals because bodyHeight bottoms out at 3 while queue length is unbounded), this subtraction can produce a zero/negative height for TurnResponseBody. That value is later used as a <Box height={height}>, which can collapse or mis-render the response pane while queued work is still running. Clamp this computed height to a minimum (for example Math.max(..., 1)) or cap how many queued rows are rendered.

ui/text/src/app.tsx

+  const totalLines = allLines.length;
+  const visibleCount = Math.max(height, 1);
+  const maxOffset = Math.max(totalLines - visibleCount, 0);


Base scroll window on rendered row height

The scroll math assumes each entry in allLines consumes exactly one terminal row (totalLines = allLines.length), but entries like ToolBadge and PermissionDialog render multiple rows because of borders and stacked content. In short terminals this can leave maxOffset at 0 even when the body is visibly overflowing, so lower permission options or tool output are clipped by the fixed-height container and cannot be reached with page navigation. Please compute offsets from rendered row height (or avoid multi-row nodes in allLines) before slicing.

ui/text/src/app.tsx

+              loading={isLatest && loading}
+              status={status}
+              spinIdx={spinIdx}
+              pendingPermission={isLatest ? pendingPermission : null}


Keep permission dialog visible while browsing history

When a permission request arrives while the user is viewing an older turn, this prop forces TurnResponseBody to hide the dialog even though pendingPermission state is still active. In that state, the useInput permission branch (arrow/enter handling) still captures navigation keys, so users cannot use shift+↓ to return to the latest turn and are left responding to an invisible prompt (or cancelling blindly with Esc), which can stall in-flight tool calls.

we should talk about message queuing though. I don't think we should do it. I think if you enter a message while the agent is running, it should just be inserted as an extra message to steer the current process
