@@ -347,7 +347,7 @@ Chat view provides project-scoped conversations with agents.
 - Full Chat and Quick Chat both consume the same streamed `/api/chat/sessions/:id/messages` response contract, and both now prefer the authoritative assistant `message` snapshot on `done` while still accumulating `text` chunks when present (so providers without incremental text streaming still render output immediately)
 - In-progress assistant responses now survive refresh/navigation while generation is still active: Chat restores the last durable in-flight text/thinking/tool state immediately, keeps the prior persisted conversation visible, then resumes streaming from the stored replay point; any new text, thinking, or tool-call updates append to that restored bubble instead of replacing it or starting from an empty "Working…" placeholder.
 - If a regular Chat stream drops with a hidden-tab/browser-suspension error (for example `Load failed`) while the server is still generating, Chat suppresses the false error banner, re-attaches to the in-progress stream using the durable replay state, and reconciles the final assistant reply when generation completes.
-- If you queue a follow-up user message while the assistant is still streaming, Chat persists that queued text per session, shows the queued preview above the input box with a divider, and restores/sends it once the active response finishes if you leave and return.
+- If you queue follow-up user messages while the assistant is still streaming, Chat persists them per session, stacks each queued preview above the input box with one shared divider, and restores/sends them one at a time in FIFO order once each active response finishes if you leave and return.
 - Chat message lists now track near-bottom scroll state: while you are reading older messages, live streaming/new replies do not force-scroll; a **Latest** jump control appears until you return to the tail.
 - On mobile direct-chat threads, entering a thread and restoring Chat after tab/page visibility returns re-anchors to the newest message (`scrollTop = scrollHeight`) so the view always opens at the live tail.
 - On mobile direct-chat threads, tapping the active title/identity in the thread header opens a lightweight conversation dropdown so you can switch to another direct session or start a New Chat without backing out to the sidebar list first; long conversation titles now stay readable in the dropdown via wrapped option text and taller touch-friendly rows.

 - Submitting the inline chooser uses explicit fresh-session creation and immediately persists/selects the new thread, then refreshes the session dropdown list
 - On first open for a project, Quick Chat restores the last opened non-archived session from per-project local storage; if that saved session is missing, it falls back to the most recently touched non-archived session by latest activity (`max(lastMessageAt, updatedAt)`), and only falls back to the first agent / configured default model when no prior session exists.
 - Closing and reopening Quick Chat keeps the active conversation warm in memory, so messages stay visible without a conversation reload or "Loading conversation…" flash.
-- Queued follow-up messages entered while a Quick Chat response is still streaming now persist per session, so closing/reopening the panel restores the queued text and flushes it once the active response completes.
+- Queued follow-up messages entered while a Quick Chat response is still streaming now persist per session, so closing/reopening the panel restores the queued stack and flushes the messages one at a time in FIFO order as active responses complete.
 - Resume lookups still use targeted session queries instead of loading the full active-session list first
 - Tool-call summaries in the floating quick-chat panel are intentionally condensed into a single-line header row (especially on small screens) so tool name + status stay scannable without multi-line wrapping
 - Question tool calls use the same shared response card as full Chat, with compact spacing in the floating panel and read-only answered history so Quick Chat can continue agent clarification loops without exposing raw tool JSON.
