Interrupt and queue — steer a live run without restarting it
Agent run controls
DoStop it. Stopping is free — nothing else changes until you say so, and every prompt keeps its ↺ if you ever need to roll back.
SeeThe run is live: the plan is streaming in, and the composer's mic has swapped to a black ■ — that square is the stop control.
DoQueue the follow-up as its own message instead of restarting the run. While a run is live, Enter queues what you type and ⌘Ctrl↵ sends it immediately, bypassing the queue.
SeeThe queued request lines up beneath the conversation; the current step's context is untouched.
DoLet the step finish.
SeeThe queued follow-up is next in line with the run's context intact. Interrupt, steer, continue — no restart.
