Send button + Enter both silently no-op'd after the first agent reply
on runtimes that deliver via WebSocket (claude-code SDK does this per
the comment at ChatTab.tsx:294-298). The visible disabled-state checks
(sending, uploading, agentReachable) were all clean — the freeze came
from a third synchronous reentry guard the button can't see:
if (sendInFlightRef.current) return; // ChatTab.tsx:438
The ref was set true at the start of sendMessage() and only cleared in
.then() / .catch() of the HTTP fall-through and the upload-failure
branch. The WS-push handler in the pendingAgentMsgs effect cleared
`sending` and `sendingFromAPIRef` but left `sendInFlightRef` stuck
true. The HTTP .then() then early-returned at the dedup check (line
513) without touching the ref — only the .catch() early-return path
did. Net result: refresh fixed it because the ref reset on remount.
Two-line fix:
- WS handler: also clear sendInFlightRef when the push delivers the
reply (primary fix; no race window where the ref is stuck while
the user can already type)
- .then() early-return: mirror .catch()'s cleanup as defense in
depth, so neither delivery order leaks the ref
While here: A2AEdge.test.tsx fixture was typed `as never` to dodge
EdgeProps' discriminated-union complaint, which broke spreading at
the call sites with TS2698 ("Spread types may only be created from
object types"). Replaced with `as unknown as ComponentProps<typeof
A2AEdge>` — preserves the original "skip restating every optional
field" intent and keeps a spreadable type.
All 10 A2AEdge tests pass; tsc --noEmit is clean.
