Bug

#2700 feature 2 ("send as much as you want") only half-worked: useChatSend.sendMessage early-returned on || sending and held sendInFlightRef across the entire agent-reply wait, so a follow-up message sent while the prior reply was still pending was silently dropped — the CTO's reported "can't send another one until the agent answers."

Fix

  • Drop the || sending gate (line 160).
  • Release the re-entrancy guard the moment the POST is fired, not after the reply lands. The POST is already dispatched without await, the server-side A2A queue is durable + ordered, and the thinking indicator stays up via sending/data.currentTask. So the next send proceeds immediately.
  • Each send keeps its own unique messageId; replies arrive via the existing AGENT_MESSAGE WS + dedup path.

Tests (new useChatSend.multiSend.test.tsx)

  • a 2nd send while the 1st is pending → both user bubbles + both POSTs, distinct messageIds;
  • empty/whitespace still a no-op;
  • existing poll-mode + client-timeout tests unchanged (8/8 green).

Note: the UI already didn't disable the textarea/send button on sending (ChatTab 863/869) — the hook gate was the only blocker.

## Bug #2700 feature 2 ("send as much as you want") only half-worked: `useChatSend.sendMessage` early-returned on `|| sending` and held `sendInFlightRef` across the entire agent-reply wait, so a follow-up message sent while the prior reply was still pending was **silently dropped** — the CTO's reported "can't send another one until the agent answers." ## Fix - Drop the `|| sending` gate (line 160). - Release the re-entrancy guard the moment the POST is **fired**, not after the reply lands. The POST is already dispatched without `await`, the server-side A2A queue is durable + ordered, and the thinking indicator stays up via `sending`/`data.currentTask`. So the next send proceeds immediately. - Each send keeps its own unique `messageId`; replies arrive via the existing AGENT_MESSAGE WS + dedup path. ## Tests (new `useChatSend.multiSend.test.tsx`) - a 2nd send while the 1st is pending → both user bubbles + both POSTs, distinct messageIds; - empty/whitespace still a no-op; - existing poll-mode + client-timeout tests unchanged (8/8 green).

#2700 feature 2 was only half-working: sendMessage early-returned on
`|| sending` and held sendInFlightRef across the whole agent-reply wait,
so a follow-up message while the prior reply was pending was silently
dropped — the user "couldn't send another one until the agent answered."

Remove the `sending` gate and release the re-entrancy guard the moment
the POST is FIRED (not after the multi-minute reply lands). The POST is
already dispatched without await, the server-side A2A queue is durable +
ordered, and the thinking indicator stays up via `sending`/currentTask —
so the next send proceeds immediately. Each send keeps its own unique
messageId; replies arrive via the existing WS/dedup path.

Tests: a 2nd send while the 1st is pending fires both bubbles + both
POSTs with distinct ids; empty/whitespace still a no-op; existing
poll-mode/client-timeout behavior unchanged.

APPROVED on head 261c8ef65e.

Reviewed with the 5-axis lens. The fix correctly removes sending as a send gate while preserving uploading and the short sendInFlightRef re-entrancy guard during synchronous setup/file upload/POST dispatch. Releasing the guard immediately after the POST is fired allows a follow-up message while the prior agent reply is pending, without changing the durable server queue ordering or message-id generation.

The new hook test covers the reported path: second send while the first POST hangs still creates two user bubbles and two POSTs with distinct messageIds; whitespace remains a no-op. Existing timeout/poll-mode behavior is untouched. Security/auth/persistence surfaces are unchanged. Targeted E2E checks are green; CI / Canvas (Next.js) was still queued at review time, so merge should wait for Canvas/all-required to finish green.

Code review is approved and explicit SOP acks are posted, but merge is still blocked by sop-checklist / all-items-acked: the PR body is missing the required filled SOP checklist sections (body-unfilled). Please add/fill the 7 body markers: Comprehensive testing performed, Local-postgres E2E run, Staging-smoke verified or pending, Root-cause not symptom, Five-Axis review walked, No backwards-compat shim / dead code added, and Memory consulted.
