Recover queued messages with Option+Up
Pressing Option+Up while the agent is busy now pops the most recently
queued ('sliding in') message back into the editor so the user can
edit and resend it. Repeated presses keep peeling messages off the
tail of the queue, newest first; each press replaces the editor
contents rather than appending. When the queue is empty the keypress
falls through to the existing scroll-up behavior.
A muted hint row underneath the chips advertises the shortcut, using
the same color as the model info on the status bar so it reads as
ambient metadata.- commit
