nit: probably not a big deal, but since messageQueue is a list of structs with pointers the references to the underlying elements would remain alive.. maybe we should be zeroing out the p.messageQueue[0] after grabbing the first element
p.messageQueue[0] = queuedMessage{}|

Given that queued messages are something the user should be well aware of, I think here it'd be better if we kept the normal text style to increase contrast between the section title, the └ branches and the press ctr+x to clear. Similar to the agents section right below it

Implements a message queue in the TUI that allows users to enqueue up to 5 messages while the agent is busy processing. Queued messages are automatically sent when the previous message finishes, providing a smoother workflow without losing user input.
Changes
Core queue logic (
pkg/tui/page/chat/chat.go):queuedMessagestruct andmessageQueuefield tochatPagehandleSendMsg()– queues messages when agent is busy, processes immediately when idleprocessNextQueuedMessage()– pops and processes the next queued message (called when stream stops)handleClearQueue()– clears all queued messages withCtrl+XsyncQueueToSidebar()– syncs queue previews to sidebar displayEditor changes (
pkg/tui/components/editor/editor.go):workingguards that blocked sending – now delegates queuing decision tochatPageKey binding (
pkg/tui/tui.go,pkg/tui/messages/messages.go):Ctrl+Xbinding to clear the message queueClearQueueMsgmessage typeVisual feedback:
