Problem

With compact-before-send, a message sent from the composer queues behind the /compact turn. If you click Edit on that queued message during compaction, the "Update queued message" button shows a spinner and stays disabled, so the edit can't be saved. When compaction ends, the original text is sent. Reported with steps to reproduce in #26609.

Change

Two things blocked the save, and both checked the local dispatch of the compact-then-send that queued the message:

  • the Update button's busy state, which kept it spinning and disabled
  • the onSend guard, which returned before it reached queuedRunEdit.saveEdit, so the click was dropped even with the button enabled

Both now go through one helper, so the button and the handler can't disagree:

+localDispatchHoldsSend
+  return localDispatchPending && not editing a queued message

 composerSendBusy(...)                  # was inline in ChatView
+  if editing a queued message
+    return that edit is saving
-  return localDispatchPending || ...
+  return localDispatchHoldsSend || setupQueueSendPending
       || queuedEditSaving || isResuming

 onSend
   if no scope || no thread
-     || (isSendBusy && !sendQueuesBehindSetup)
+     || localDispatchHoldsSend
      || sendInFlight || ...
     return
   ...
   if editing a queued message
     saveEdit                           # now reached during compact-then-send

The other guards stay. sendInFlight only holds before the queued message exists, so there is nothing to edit yet, and saveEdit already ignores repeat clicks while a save runs. The helpers live in chat/composerSend.logic.ts so they can be tested as pure logic. Outside edit mode nothing changes. Mobile doesn't need a change: it gates queued-edit saving on its own saving flag and has no compact-before-send.

Scope and approval

Fixes #26609. It's a very small fix for an obvious bug: two conditions, web only, and a click that was blocked becomes possible.

Verification

One case in composerSend.logic.test.ts covers the button and the send guard:

holds a queued-message edit only while that edit saves
  composerSendBusy        not editing, dispatch pending -> busy
  composerSendBusy        editing, dispatch pending     -> not busy
  composerSendBusy        editing, edit saving          -> busy
  localDispatchHoldsSend  not editing, dispatch pending -> holds
  localDispatchHoldsSend  editing, dispatch pending     -> lets the save through
  • Before (main's conditions): × holds a queued-message edit only while that edit saves, with AssertionError: expected true to be false
  • After: Tests 15 passed (15)

The test covers the guard's condition, not a full click through useComposerSend. That hook takes about 80 inputs and has no harness yet, so a test that drives it would be most of this PR.

vp run check:changed: format, lint, knip, typecheck and React compiler pass. ChatView.logic.browser.test.ts couldn't launch locally (the Playwright Chromium build isn't installed), so CI covers it; this PR doesn't touch ChatView.logic.

Not checked: no before/after captures. Reaching this state needs a real Claude compaction, which the Replay (dev) provider can't produce.

Merge Danger

Door: two-way. Two conditions, reverted by reverting the commits.

Blast Radius: small. Only the send button and send handler while a queued message is being edited. Outside edit mode both behave as before.

Walkthrough

The PR adds helpers for composer busy state and local-dispatch blocking. ChatView uses the busy-state helper, and the send guard uses the local-dispatch helper. Tests cover pending dispatches and queued-run edit states.

Changes: Composer send-busy state

Layer / File(s) Summary
Busy-state logic and composer wiring
apps/web/src/components/chat/composerSend.logic.ts, apps/web/src/components/ChatView.tsx, apps/web/src/components/chat/useComposerSend.ts, apps/web/src/components/chat/composerSend.logic.test.ts
composerSendBusy reports only the queued-run edit’s saving state while an edit is active. Otherwise, it checks local dispatch, matching setup-queue and active thread keys, queued-run saving, and resume state. ChatView uses the helper. The send guard uses localDispatchHoldsSend, and tests cover dispatch and queued-edit conditions.

Update can appear available without saving the edited queued message during compact-then-send or resume, allowing the original message to proceed. Resolve these paths before merging.

Explanation

The description includes the required Problem, Change, Scope and approval, and Verification sections. It explains the bug, implementation, issue linkage, test results, validation limits, and missing UI captures.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Directly linked issue #26609 requires saving a queued-message edit during compact-before-send. localDispatchHoldsSend returns false while queuedRunEdit.isEditing is true, so the pending local dispatch does not block the send handler. composerSendBusy returns only queuedRunEdit.isSaving in queued-edit mode, so the Update action is enabled until its own save starts. The focused test covers pending dispatch in edit and non-edit modes, and edit-save busy state. The reported changed checks also pass.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes are limited to the shared composer send helpers, ChatView busy-state wiring, the useComposerSend guard, and focused unit tests. These changes directly support issue #26609. No unrelated product behavior or mobile changes are introduced.

Confirmed and fixed in dd9b4e8. The onSend guard now uses localDispatchHoldsSend, the same helper as the button busy state, so a queued edit gets past the pending-dispatch check and reaches saveEdit. sendInFlight stays as it was: it only holds before the queued message exists, so there is nothing to edit yet. The test covers the shared condition rather than a click through useComposerSend, because that hook has no harness.

The test covers the shared condition rather than a click through useComposerSend, because that hook has no harness.

While a queued message was being edited, the composer's Update button
took its busy state from every pending send, including the local
dispatch of the compact-then-send that queued the message. The button
spun and stayed disabled, so the edit could not be saved and the
original text was sent after compaction.

Saving a queued edit is its own action: in edit mode the button is
now busy only while that edit saves.

Fixes pingdotgg#26609
The previous commit kept the Update button enabled during compact-then-send,
but onSend still returned early on the pending local dispatch, before it
reached queuedRunEdit.saveEdit, so the click did nothing.

Both the button and the send guard now use localDispatchHoldsSend, which
lets a queued-message edit through. saveEdit already ignores repeat clicks
while a save is running.

Keep the edit busy while a resume is in progress.

If a user starts a resume and then edits a queued message, this branch enables Update. useComposerResume holds sendInFlightRef until the resume completes, so onSend returns without saving. The resume can then release the original message. Keep isResuming in the edit-mode busy state and add a regression case. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
