Queued prompts occasionally remain stuck after the session becomes idle #4705

Description

@zahidma-91

Describe the bug

Queued prompts are not dequeued consistently. Occasionally, after pressing Ctrl+Q to enqueue a prompt while Copilot CLI is busy, the prompt remains listed under Queued (1) Ctrl+Q to manage even after the session becomes idle.

The queue manager allows the queued prompt to be edited or deleted, but it does not provide a "Send now" action, and the prompt never dispatches automatically. Deleting the queued prompt and submitting the same text manually works.

Affected version

1.0.83-3

Steps to reproduce the behavior

  1. Start an interactive Copilot CLI session and submit a prompt that keeps the session busy.
  2. While it is busy, type another prompt and press Ctrl+Q to enqueue it.
  3. Wait for the active work to finish and for the session to become idle.
  4. Observe that, intermittently, the status continues to show Queued (1) Ctrl+Q to manage and the prompt is never sent.
  5. Press Ctrl+Q to manage the queue. The prompt can be edited or deleted, but there is no option to send it immediately.
  6. Delete the queued prompt and submit the same text manually; it sends successfully.

This is intermittent and does not happen for every queued prompt.

Expected behavior

A queued prompt should automatically dispatch when the session becomes idle. The queue manager should also provide a "Send now" action as a fallback when automatic dequeueing does not occur.

Additional context

  • Operating system: Windows
  • Reproducibility: Intermittent
  • UI remains responsive; queued prompts can still be edited or deleted.
  • Manually resubmitting the same prompt succeeds.
