What Changed

Queued messages now have separate Edit and Remove actions in web and desktop. Edit returns the message, attachments, and context to the composer and focuses it; existing draft text is preserved. Remove discards the queued message without restoring it and releases its image preview URLs.

Why

The queue previously exposed only Send now and a cancel action that returned content to the composer. Editing is now explicit, and Remove actually removes the message.

UI Changes

Watch the 25-second recording: queue → edit → requeue → remove (MP4)

The recording shows a real active test turn: queue a message, click the pencil to restore and focus it, change its text, requeue it, then remove it while preserving a separate composer draft.

Before After
Before: send and cancel After: send, edit, and remove

The stills use the same held-message fixture against the base and changed UI. Mobile has its own existing queue-editing flow; no server, provider, or contract changes are needed.

Validation

  • 308 tests pass across the queue store, composer draft store, and two timeline suites, including two added queue regression tests for stale dispatch after removal and preserving the attachment payload for editing.
  • Web typecheck passes. Targeted lint and formatting pass, with warnings in existing code.
  • Verified duplicate-image restoration keeps the send refs synchronized with the accepted draft before React effects run.
  • Verified Edit focuses the composer, revised text requeues correctly, and Remove leaves the current draft untouched in the real browser against isolated state.

Checklist

  • This PR is small and focused
  • I explained what changed and why
  • I included before/after screenshots for any UI changes
  • I included a video for animation/interaction changes

Implemented with GPT-6 in Codex.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR adds user-facing edit/remove behavior for queued messages and changes existing cancel semantics while interacting with shared composer attachment state. An unresolved High-severity finding identifies a possible mismatch where an image can be uploaded despite being absent from the composer UI, so the change needs human review.

Not approved because:

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Queued messages can be edited from the timeline. Editing removes the message, restores its accepted prompt and attachments to the composer, and focuses the composer. Timeline rows also show hover timestamps and background worktree setup progress.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 5dd6a

Editing a queued message that shares an image already present in the composer can leave that image's temporary preview URL unreleased, a bounded memory leak that accumulates with repeated edits but does not affect message delivery or data integrity. Addressing the missing cleanup before merge is recommended but not release-blocking.

Reviewed CodeRabbit's docstring coverage warning. No extra callback documentation was added: AGENTS.md asks us to avoid narrating behavior already clear from code and to keep local explanations beside the relevant logic. The attachment restore now has a focused comment explaining why send refs must be read synchronously from the accepted draft state.

🟠 Major · Revoke preview URLs for images rejected during restoration.

apps/web/src/components/ChatView.tsx:8245
🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Revoke preview URLs for images rejected during restoration.

The draft store can reject duplicate images. The edit action first removes the queued message, so a rejected image has no remaining owner. Its Blob URL is never revoked.

After reading restoredDraft, revoke each restored image URL that is not retained by the accepted draft. Do not revoke a URL that an existing accepted image still uses.

Proposed fix
 const restoredDraft = useComposerDraftStore.getState().getComposerDraft(composerDraftTarget);
+const acceptedPreviewUrls = new Set(
+  (restoredDraft?.images ?? []).map((image) => image.previewUrl),
+);
+for (const image of restoredImages) {
+  if (!acceptedPreviewUrls.has(image.previewUrl)) {
+    revokeBlobPreviewUrl(image.previewUrl);
+  }
+}
 composerImagesRef.current = restoredDraft?.images ?? [];
 composerFilesRef.current = restoredDraft?.files ?? [];

Based on learnings, release Blob URLs with URL.revokeObjectURL() when they are no longer retained.

@coderabbitai The new preview-URL cleanup finding in the latest review is a false positive. Please dismiss it and update the review summary.

The restore path calls addComposerDraftImages, which is the draft store's addImages, before reading restoredDraft. Cleanup already happens synchronously in that store action:

Re-ran vp test run src/composerDraftStore.test.ts -t 'composerDraftStore addImages': all 5 targeted tests pass. No code change is needed; adding the proposed loop in ChatView would duplicate cleanup already owned by the draft store.

@DominicVonk, repository verification was unavailable because the PR branch could not be cloned.

I cannot dismiss the finding or update the review summary without confirming the restore-path call order and draft-store cleanup behavior. Please retry the repository access, then I can verify the cited implementation and tests.

I'd like this too. I can't find a way to edit a queued message in T3 Code. An explicit Edit action so I can change it before it runs would help.

Note

This comment is posted by Julius' dot

The existing cancel action already returned queued content to the composer. This PR adds separate Edit and Remove actions and changes Remove to discard that content. No maintainer approval for those workflow changes is linked. Closing under prior approval. The difficulty finding the existing edit path is useful feedback; please agree on the direction and scope in Ideas, then link that approval for reconsideration.
