# Mid-Task Instructions Implementation Plan

> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.

**Goal:** Let users send new instructions during a running agent loop. Each instruction enters a per-session `pendingInstructions` queue (persisted in `SessionAgentState`). At the top of each ReAct iteration the loop drains and merges all pending into a single `<untrusted_user_message source="mid_task">` user message before the next LLM call. Users can cancel any pending entry before it's drained.

**Architecture:** Panel writes `DisplayMessage` (with ulid `id`) to its own chat-history slot and sends `chat-instruction-add { sessionId, chatMessageId, content, ... }` to the SW. SW writes a `PendingInstruction` with the same `chatMessageId` plus the full payload (drain happens entirely in SW; it cannot rely on panel echo) and broadcasts state changes. Loop drain is a single atomic helper: read queue → clear → `writeAtomic` → broadcast. Cancel is symmetric: panel removes DisplayMessage; SW removes PendingInstruction.

**Tech Stack:** TypeScript, React 19, Chrome Extension Manifest V3, vitest + happy-dom + @testing-library/react, chrome.storage.local (writeAtomic), chrome.runtime.connect ports.

**Spec:** [`docs/specs/2026-05-27-mid-task-instructions-design.md`](../specs/2026-05-27-mid-task-instructions-design.md)

**Issue:** [#34](https://github.com/WiseriaAI/pie-ai-agent/issues/34)

## File Structure

**Create**
- `src/lib/sessions/pending-instructions.ts` — SW-side CRUD: `addPending`, `cancelPending`, `drainPending`. Owns the `SessionAgentState.pendingInstructions[]` field via read-modify-writeAtomic.
- `src/lib/sessions/pending-instructions.test.ts` — unit tests for the three operations + edge cases.
- `src/lib/agent/loop-drain.test.ts` — unit tests for the drain-and-inject helper at loop top.
- `src/__tests__/cross-layer/mid-task-instructions.test.ts` — main happy-path + reject + cancel + multi-merge + abort scenarios.
- `src/__tests__/cross-layer/mid-task-recovery.test.ts` — SW restart, panel reload, reconnect broadcast.
- `src/sidepanel/components/PendingInstructionList.tsx` — new presentational component rendered above the Composer input box. Reads pending state from props, fires `onCancel(chatMessageId)`.
- `src/sidepanel/components/PendingInstructionList.test.tsx` — RTL render tests.

**Modify**
- `src/lib/sessions/types.ts` — add `PendingInstruction` interface; add `pendingInstructions: PendingInstruction[]` field on `SessionAgentState`.
- `src/types/messages.ts` — extend `DisplayMessage` user variant with optional `id?: string`; add 4 new port message interfaces (`ChatInstructionAddMessage`, `ChatInstructionCancelMessage`, `ChatInstructionStateMessage`, `ChatInstructionRejectedMessage`); add them to `PortMessageToWorker` / `PortMessageToPanel` discriminated unions.
- `src/lib/agent/loop.ts` — at top of the for-iteration (after `readFocusFromStorage`, before LLM call), call `drainPending(sessionId)`; if non-empty, push a synthesized `<untrusted_user_message source="mid_task">` user message to `agentMessages`.
- `src/background/index.ts` — handle three new message types in the port listener; broadcast `chat-instruction-state` on panel reconnect (inside `handlePanelMounted`); in `handleChatStream` prepend a drain so abort-saved pending merges into the new task's first user message.
- `src/sidepanel/hooks/useSession/index.ts` — add `addPendingInstruction` + `cancelPendingInstruction` actions; subscribe to `chat-instruction-state` broadcasts; expose `pendingByChatMessageId: Map<string, PendingInstruction>` to consumers.
- `src/sidepanel/components/Chat.tsx` — flip `disabled={streaming}` on the textarea to `disabled={!sessionAllowsInput}`; in the action row, render the **Queue** button (reuses `PieSendButton` visual) when `streaming && input.trim()`; submit handler branches on `streaming ? addPendingInstruction() : sendMessage()`; mount `<PendingInstructionList>` above the input box when `pendingMap.size > 0`.

**Delete** — none.

## Phase 1: Data structures & types

### Task 1: Extend `SessionAgentState` with `pendingInstructions[]`

**Files:**
- Modify: `src/lib/sessions/types.ts`
- Test: `src/lib/sessions/pending-instructions.test.ts` (created in Task 2; this task is type-only)

- [ ] **Step 1.1: Add `PendingInstruction` interface and field**

Edit `src/lib/sessions/types.ts`. After the existing `SessionAgentState` interface (line 227), add:

```ts
/**
 * Issue #34 — single entry in the per-session mid-task instruction queue.
 * Panel-generated `chatMessageId` (ulid) is the link key to `DisplayMessage.id`.
 * SW stores the full payload (not just an index) because drain happens entirely
 * inside SW (loop top) and cannot depend on panel echo.
 */
export interface PendingInstruction {
  /** ulid generated by panel; matches DisplayMessage.id. */
  chatMessageId: string;
  /** Raw user text. */
  content: string;
  /** Slash-expanded LLM-facing text (if panel expanded skills syntax). Prefer this
   *  over `content` when building the drained user message. */
  expandedForLLM?: string;
  /** Image attachments staged at send time (rare during streaming since ToolsMenu
   *  is hidden, but supported for symmetry with sendMessage). */
  attachments?: import("@/types/messages").Attachment[];
  /** Quote chips. */
  quotes?: import("@/types/messages").Quote[];
  /** Unix ms — used only for ordering in drain merge. */
  createdAt: number;
}
```

Locate the `SessionAgentState` interface and add the new field right after `agentMessages`:

```ts
export interface SessionAgentState {
  agentMessages: AgentMessage[];
  /**
   * Issue #34 — per-session FIFO queue of mid-task instructions submitted
   * during streaming. Drained atomically at the top of each ReAct iteration
   * (and at chat-start handler entry, to consume any pending left over from
   * a prior abort). SW is the sole writer.
   */
  pendingInstructions: PendingInstruction[];
  // ...existing fields below (stepIndex, hasImageContent, ...)
}
```

- [ ] **Step 1.2: Update default/empty SessionAgentState builders**

Search the codebase for sites that construct fresh `SessionAgentState` and add `pendingInstructions: []`:

```bash
grep -rn "agentMessages: \[\]" src/lib/sessions/ src/background/ src/lib/agent/
```

Expected hits include `src/lib/sessions/storage.ts:202` (the default state for new sessions). Add `pendingInstructions: []` next to `agentMessages: []` in each construction site.

- [ ] **Step 1.3: Type-check**

Run:
```bash
pnpm tsc --noEmit
```
Expected: no new type errors. If existing call sites construct partial states, they'll surface here.

- [ ] **Step 1.4: Commit**

```bash
git add src/lib/sessions/types.ts src/lib/sessions/storage.ts
git commit -m "feat(sessions): add pendingInstructions[] field to SessionAgentState (#34)

Issue #34 mid-task instructions data layer foundation. Adds the
PendingInstruction interface and the queue field on SessionAgentState.
SW is the sole writer (added in subsequent tasks)."
```

---

### Task 2: Add port message types

**Files:**
- Modify: `src/types/messages.ts`

- [ ] **Step 2.1: Extend `DisplayMessage` user variant with optional `id`**

In `src/types/messages.ts`, locate the user variant of `DisplayMessage` (line 130) and add `id?: string`:

```ts
export type DisplayMessage =
  | {
      role: "user";
      content: string;
      expandedForLLM?: string;
      attachments?: Attachment[];
      quotes?: Quote[];
      /** Issue #34 — ulid set by panel when added via addPendingInstruction
       *  during streaming. Cross-references SW pendingInstructions[]. Absent
       *  on normal sendMessage user messages. */
      id?: string;
    }
  | { role: "assistant"; content: string }
  // ... rest unchanged
```

- [ ] **Step 2.2: Add 4 new port message interfaces**

After `ChatAbortMessage` (line 50), add:

```ts
/**
 * Issue #34 — panel → SW: enqueue a mid-task instruction.
 * Sent during streaming when user submits new input. SW writes a
 * PendingInstruction with the same chatMessageId.
 */
export interface ChatInstructionAddMessage {
  type: "chat-instruction-add";
  sessionId: string;
  /** ulid generated by panel; same value used on DisplayMessage.id. */
  chatMessageId: string;
  content: string;
  expandedForLLM?: string;
  attachments?: Attachment[];
  quotes?: Quote[];
}

/**
 * Issue #34 — panel → SW: remove a pending instruction by chatMessageId.
 * Idempotent: if SW already drained it, returns current state via broadcast.
 */
export interface ChatInstructionCancelMessage {
  type: "chat-instruction-cancel";
  sessionId: string;
  chatMessageId: string;
}

/**
 * Issue #34 — SW → panel: broadcast current pending queue state.
 * Sent after every queue mutation (add / cancel / drain) and on panel
 * reconnect. Panel cross-references chatMessageId to slot.messages.id to
 * decide which bubbles get the pending badge.
 */
export interface ChatInstructionStateMessage {
  type: "chat-instruction-state";
  sessionId: string;
  pending: PendingInstructionStatePayload[];
}

export interface PendingInstructionStatePayload {
  chatMessageId: string;
  createdAt: number;
}

/**
 * Issue #34 — SW → panel: instruction-add arrived after loop ended.
 * Panel reaction: fall back to normal chat-start with the same content.
 */
export interface ChatInstructionRejectedMessage {
  type: "chat-instruction-rejected";
  sessionId: string;
  chatMessageId: string;
  reason: "not-streaming";
}
```

- [ ] **Step 2.3: Add to discriminated unions**

Find `PortMessageToWorker` and `PortMessageToPanel` (search for `export type PortMessage`):

```bash
grep -n "export type PortMessage" src/types/messages.ts
```

Add the new types to the appropriate union:
- `PortMessageToWorker`: `| ChatInstructionAddMessage | ChatInstructionCancelMessage`
- `PortMessageToPanel`: `| ChatInstructionStateMessage | ChatInstructionRejectedMessage`

- [ ] **Step 2.4: Type-check**

```bash
pnpm tsc --noEmit
```
Expected: any switch/case on the unions that doesn't handle new variants will surface as "Property X is not assignable" or non-exhaustive-check errors. Note them down; the SW listener and panel handler tasks below will resolve them.

If there are exhaustiveness assertions elsewhere (e.g. `assertNever`), add the new variants now with a placeholder `// handled in Task N` comment that the later task will replace.

- [ ] **Step 2.5: Commit**

```bash
git add src/types/messages.ts
git commit -m "feat(types): add port messages + DisplayMessage.id for mid-task instructions (#34)

Adds ChatInstruction{Add,Cancel,State,Rejected}Message interfaces and
an optional id field on the user DisplayMessage variant (link key to
SW pendingInstructions). Wires them into the PortMessage unions."
```

## Phase 2: SW-side queue module

### Task 3: `pending-instructions.ts` — unit tests for `addPending`

**Files:**
- Create: `src/lib/sessions/pending-instructions.ts`
- Create: `src/lib/sessions/pending-instructions.test.ts`

- [ ] **Step 3.1: Write failing test**

```ts
// src/lib/sessions/pending-instructions.test.ts
import { describe, it, expect, beforeEach, vi } from "vitest";
import { addPending, cancelPending, drainPending } from "./pending-instructions";
import type { SessionAgentState } from "./types";

const SESSION_ID = "s1";

function freshAgentState(): SessionAgentState {
  return {
    agentMessages: [],
    pendingInstructions: [],
    stepIndex: 0,
    hasImageContent: false,
  };
}

beforeEach(() => {
  const data: Record<string, unknown> = {};
  // @ts-expect-error mock
  global.chrome = {
    storage: {
      local: {
        get: vi.fn((keys) => {
          const want = Array.isArray(keys) ? keys : [keys];
          const out: Record<string, unknown> = {};
          for (const k of want) if (k in data) out[k] = data[k];
          return Promise.resolve(out);
        }),
        set: vi.fn((kv: Record<string, unknown>) => {
          Object.assign(data, kv);
          return Promise.resolve();
        }),
      },
    },
  };
  // seed
  data[`session_${SESSION_ID}_agent`] = freshAgentState();
});

describe("addPending", () => {
  it("appends to queue and persists", async () => {
    await addPending(SESSION_ID, {
      chatMessageId: "msg-1",
      content: "also pin forums",
      createdAt: 1000,
    });
    const state = (await chrome.storage.local.get(`session_${SESSION_ID}_agent`))[
      `session_${SESSION_ID}_agent`
    ] as SessionAgentState;
    expect(state.pendingInstructions).toEqual([
      { chatMessageId: "msg-1", content: "also pin forums", createdAt: 1000 },
    ]);
  });

  it("preserves FIFO order across multiple adds", async () => {
    await addPending(SESSION_ID, { chatMessageId: "m1", content: "a", createdAt: 1 });
    await addPending(SESSION_ID, { chatMessageId: "m2", content: "b", createdAt: 2 });
    await addPending(SESSION_ID, { chatMessageId: "m3", content: "c", createdAt: 3 });
    const state = (await chrome.storage.local.get(`session_${SESSION_ID}_agent`))[
      `session_${SESSION_ID}_agent`
    ] as SessionAgentState;
    expect(state.pendingInstructions.map((p) => p.chatMessageId)).toEqual([
      "m1",
      "m2",
      "m3",
    ]);
  });
});
```

- [ ] **Step 3.2: Run test to verify it fails**

```bash
pnpm vitest run src/lib/sessions/pending-instructions.test.ts
```
Expected: FAIL — `pending-instructions.ts` does not exist.

- [ ] **Step 3.3: Write minimal implementation**

Create `src/lib/sessions/pending-instructions.ts`:

```ts
import type { PendingInstruction, SessionAgentState } from "./types";
import { agentKey, writeAtomic } from "./storage";

async function readAgent(sessionId: string): Promise<SessionAgentState | null> {
  const key = agentKey(sessionId);
  const res = await chrome.storage.local.get(key);
  return (res[key] as SessionAgentState | undefined) ?? null;
}

/**
 * Append a PendingInstruction to the session's queue.
 * Read-modify-write on session_{id}_agent.
 */
export async function addPending(
  sessionId: string,
  instruction: PendingInstruction,
): Promise<void> {
  const state = await readAgent(sessionId);
  if (!state) {
    console.warn(`[pending] addPending: session ${sessionId} agent state missing`);
    return;
  }
  const next: SessionAgentState = {
    ...state,
    pendingInstructions: [...state.pendingInstructions, instruction],
  };
  await writeAtomic({ [agentKey(sessionId)]: next });
}

/**
 * Remove a PendingInstruction by chatMessageId. Idempotent — missing id is no-op.
 * Returns true if something was removed.
 */
export async function cancelPending(
  sessionId: string,
  chatMessageId: string,
): Promise<boolean> {
  const state = await readAgent(sessionId);
  if (!state) return false;
  const before = state.pendingInstructions.length;
  const filtered = state.pendingInstructions.filter(
    (p) => p.chatMessageId !== chatMessageId,
  );
  if (filtered.length === before) return false;
  const next: SessionAgentState = { ...state, pendingInstructions: filtered };
  await writeAtomic({ [agentKey(sessionId)]: next });
  return true;
}

/**
 * Read + clear queue atomically. Returns the drained instructions in FIFO order.
 * Caller is responsible for broadcasting the empty state and pushing the merged
 * user message into agentMessages.
 */
export async function drainPending(
  sessionId: string,
): Promise<PendingInstruction[]> {
  const state = await readAgent(sessionId);
  if (!state) return [];
  const drained = state.pendingInstructions;
  if (drained.length === 0) return [];
  const next: SessionAgentState = { ...state, pendingInstructions: [] };
  await writeAtomic({ [agentKey(sessionId)]: next });
  return drained;
}
```

- [ ] **Step 3.4: Run tests to verify pass**

```bash
pnpm vitest run src/lib/sessions/pending-instructions.test.ts
```
Expected: both addPending tests PASS.

- [ ] **Step 3.5: Commit**

```bash
git add src/lib/sessions/pending-instructions.ts src/lib/sessions/pending-instructions.test.ts
git commit -m "feat(sessions): add SW-side pending-instructions module with addPending (#34)

Initial implementation covers addPending. cancelPending and drainPending
are stubbed for next tasks in this phase."
```

---

### Task 4: `cancelPending` tests + edge cases

**Files:**
- Modify: `src/lib/sessions/pending-instructions.test.ts`

- [ ] **Step 4.1: Add failing tests**

Append to the test file:

```ts
describe("cancelPending", () => {
  it("removes the matching entry and returns true", async () => {
    await addPending(SESSION_ID, { chatMessageId: "m1", content: "a", createdAt: 1 });
    await addPending(SESSION_ID, { chatMessageId: "m2", content: "b", createdAt: 2 });
    const removed = await cancelPending(SESSION_ID, "m1");
    expect(removed).toBe(true);
    const state = (await chrome.storage.local.get(`session_${SESSION_ID}_agent`))[
      `session_${SESSION_ID}_agent`
    ] as SessionAgentState;
    expect(state.pendingInstructions.map((p) => p.chatMessageId)).toEqual(["m2"]);
  });

  it("returns false and no-ops when chatMessageId not present", async () => {
    await addPending(SESSION_ID, { chatMessageId: "m1", content: "a", createdAt: 1 });
    const removed = await cancelPending(SESSION_ID, "nope");
    expect(removed).toBe(false);
    const state = (await chrome.storage.local.get(`session_${SESSION_ID}_agent`))[
      `session_${SESSION_ID}_agent`
    ] as SessionAgentState;
    expect(state.pendingInstructions).toHaveLength(1);
  });

  it("returns false when session agent state missing", async () => {
    const removed = await cancelPending("nonexistent", "m1");
    expect(removed).toBe(false);
  });
});
```

- [ ] **Step 4.2: Run tests**

```bash
pnpm vitest run src/lib/sessions/pending-instructions.test.ts
```
Expected: all 3 cancelPending tests PASS (the impl already covers these cases).

- [ ] **Step 4.3: Commit**

```bash
git add src/lib/sessions/pending-instructions.test.ts
git commit -m "test(sessions): cancelPending idempotency + missing-session edge cases (#34)"
```

---

### Task 5: `drainPending` tests + atomicity guard

**Files:**
- Modify: `src/lib/sessions/pending-instructions.test.ts`

- [ ] **Step 5.1: Add failing tests**

Append:

```ts
describe("drainPending", () => {
  it("returns FIFO-ordered drained entries and empties queue", async () => {
    await addPending(SESSION_ID, { chatMessageId: "m1", content: "a", createdAt: 1 });
    await addPending(SESSION_ID, { chatMessageId: "m2", content: "b", createdAt: 2 });
    const drained = await drainPending(SESSION_ID);
    expect(drained.map((p) => p.chatMessageId)).toEqual(["m1", "m2"]);
    const state = (await chrome.storage.local.get(`session_${SESSION_ID}_agent`))[
      `session_${SESSION_ID}_agent`
    ] as SessionAgentState;
    expect(state.pendingInstructions).toEqual([]);
  });

  it("returns empty array when queue empty (no storage write)", async () => {
    const setSpy = vi.spyOn(chrome.storage.local, "set");
    const drained = await drainPending(SESSION_ID);
    expect(drained).toEqual([]);
    expect(setSpy).not.toHaveBeenCalled();
  });

  it("returns empty when session missing", async () => {
    const drained = await drainPending("nonexistent");
    expect(drained).toEqual([]);
  });

  it("preserves all PendingInstruction fields including expandedForLLM/attachments", async () => {
    await addPending(SESSION_ID, {
      chatMessageId: "m1",
      content: "user text",
      expandedForLLM: "expanded text /skill",
      attachments: [],
      quotes: [],
      createdAt: 1,
    });
    const drained = await drainPending(SESSION_ID);
    expect(drained[0]).toMatchObject({
      chatMessageId: "m1",
      content: "user text",
      expandedForLLM: "expanded text /skill",
    });
  });
});
```

- [ ] **Step 5.2: Run tests**

```bash
pnpm vitest run src/lib/sessions/pending-instructions.test.ts
```
Expected: all 4 drainPending tests PASS.

- [ ] **Step 5.3: Commit**

```bash
git add src/lib/sessions/pending-instructions.test.ts
git commit -m "test(sessions): drainPending FIFO order + empty/missing edges + field preservation (#34)"
```

## Phase 3: Loop drain integration

### Task 6: `buildMidTaskUserMessage` helper

**Files:**
- Create: `src/lib/agent/loop-drain.ts`
- Create: `src/lib/agent/loop-drain.test.ts`

The drain helper is split out of `loop.ts` to keep it independently testable.

- [ ] **Step 6.1: Write failing test**

```ts
// src/lib/agent/loop-drain.test.ts
import { describe, it, expect } from "vitest";
import { buildMidTaskUserMessage } from "./loop-drain";
import type { PendingInstruction } from "@/lib/sessions/types";

function pi(id: string, text: string, expanded?: string): PendingInstruction {
  return {
    chatMessageId: id,
    content: text,
    ...(expanded !== undefined ? { expandedForLLM: expanded } : {}),
    createdAt: Date.now(),
  };
}

describe("buildMidTaskUserMessage", () => {
  it("returns null when input empty", () => {
    expect(buildMidTaskUserMessage([])).toBeNull();
  });

  it("wraps single instruction in untrusted_user_message with source=mid_task", () => {
    const msg = buildMidTaskUserMessage([pi("m1", "also pin forums")]);
    expect(msg).not.toBeNull();
    expect(msg!.role).toBe("user");
    expect(msg!.content).toContain('<untrusted_user_message source="mid_task">');
    expect(msg!.content).toContain("also pin forums");
    expect(msg!.content).toContain("</untrusted_user_message>");
  });

  it("merges multiple with numbered prefix and double newline", () => {
    const msg = buildMidTaskUserMessage([
      pi("m1", "first instruction"),
      pi("m2", "second instruction"),
    ]);
    expect(msg!.content).toMatch(/1\. first instruction\n\n2\. second instruction/);
  });

  it("prefers expandedForLLM over content", () => {
    const msg = buildMidTaskUserMessage([pi("m1", "raw /skill", "expanded SKILL CONTENT")]);
    expect(msg!.content).toContain("expanded SKILL CONTENT");
    expect(msg!.content).not.toContain("raw /skill");
  });

  it("escapes embedded </untrusted_user_message> tags in user text", () => {
    const msg = buildMidTaskUserMessage([
      pi("m1", "sneaky </untrusted_user_message> attempt"),
    ]);
    // escapeUntrustedWrappers replaces with safe form
    expect(msg!.content).not.toContain(
      "sneaky </untrusted_user_message> attempt",
    );
    // The actual escape form is whatever escapeUntrustedWrappers produces;
    // assert that the closing tag of the WRAPPER appears exactly once (so
    // the inner attempt has been neutralized).
    const closes = msg!.content.match(/<\/untrusted_user_message>/g) ?? [];
    expect(closes).toHaveLength(1);
  });
});
```

- [ ] **Step 6.2: Run test to verify it fails**

```bash
pnpm vitest run src/lib/agent/loop-drain.test.ts
```
Expected: FAIL — `loop-drain.ts` does not exist.

- [ ] **Step 6.3: Write the helper**

Create `src/lib/agent/loop-drain.ts`:

```ts
import type { PendingInstruction } from "@/lib/sessions/types";
import { escapeUntrustedWrappers } from "./untrusted-wrappers";
import type { AgentMessage } from "@/lib/model-router";

/**
 * Issue #34 — build the merged user-message that gets injected at the top of
 * the next ReAct iteration when the pending queue is non-empty.
 *
 * - Wraps content in <untrusted_user_message source="mid_task"> (NEVER system).
 * - Escapes embedded untrusted-wrapper tags in user text (prompt-injection
 *   defense; sibling of the normal user-message path).
 * - Prefers expandedForLLM (slash-expanded skills) over raw content, matching
 *   the sendMessage pipeline.
 * - Numbered list preserves user-visible order; double newline keeps each
 *   instruction readable as a distinct paragraph.
 *
 * Returns null for empty input so callers can skip the push.
 */
export function buildMidTaskUserMessage(
  pending: PendingInstruction[],
): AgentMessage | null {
  if (pending.length === 0) return null;
  const merged = pending
    .map((p, i) => {
      const text = p.expandedForLLM ?? p.content;
      return `${i + 1}. ${escapeUntrustedWrappers(text)}`;
    })
    .join("\n\n");
  return {
    role: "user",
    content: `<untrusted_user_message source="mid_task">\n${merged}\n</untrusted_user_message>`,
  };
}
```

Verify `escapeUntrustedWrappers` is exported from `./untrusted-wrappers`:
```bash
grep -n "export function escapeUntrustedWrappers\|export { escapeUntrustedWrappers" src/lib/agent/untrusted-wrappers.ts
```
If it's not exported, export it. If the function signature differs from `(text: string) => string`, adapt the call (read the file once to confirm).

- [ ] **Step 6.4: Run tests to verify they pass**

```bash
pnpm vitest run src/lib/agent/loop-drain.test.ts
```
Expected: all 5 tests PASS.

- [ ] **Step 6.5: Commit**

```bash
git add src/lib/agent/loop-drain.ts src/lib/agent/loop-drain.test.ts
git commit -m "feat(agent): buildMidTaskUserMessage helper for loop-top drain (#34)

Pure function: takes PendingInstruction[] → AgentMessage. Wraps in
<untrusted_user_message source=\"mid_task\"> and escapes inner wrapper
tags. Caller is responsible for invoking drainPending and pushing the
result into agentMessages."
```

### Task 7: Wire drain into `runAgentLoop`

**Files:**
- Modify: `src/lib/agent/loop.ts`
- Test: covered by Phase 5 cross-layer tests; no new unit test (the for-loop is too entangled to mock cleanly — integration coverage is the right level)

- [ ] **Step 7.1: Locate the injection point**

Run:
```bash
grep -n "readFocusFromStorage\|signal.aborted" src/lib/agent/loop.ts | head -15
```

You're looking for the for-iteration top where:
1. `readFocusFromStorage(...)` is called early
2. `if (signal.aborted) break;` exists immediately after

Spec §4.4 says the drain goes between these, but conceptually order is:
```
abort check → drain → LLM call
```

The existing structure already has `if (signal.aborted) break;` near loop top; add the drain right after that (and before the LLM stream invocation, which you can identify by a `streamChatByProvider` / `dispatchStreamChat` call).

- [ ] **Step 7.2: Add the drain call**

Inside the for-iteration body, after `readFocusFromStorage` and after `if (signal.aborted) break;`, before the LLM call:

```ts
// Issue #34 — drain any mid-task instructions submitted during the
// previous step. Atomic read+clear (drainPending writes session agent
// state). The push into agentMessages happens here, in-memory; the
// next step-boundary writeAtomic will include this user message in
// the persisted agentMessages snapshot.
const pendingDrained = await drainPending(sessionId);
const midTaskMsg = buildMidTaskUserMessage(pendingDrained);
if (midTaskMsg) {
  agentMessages.push(midTaskMsg);
  // Broadcast empty pending so panel updates UI immediately
  // (without waiting for next step write).
  broadcastInstructionState(port, sessionId, []);
}
```

Add imports at the top of `loop.ts`:
```ts
import { drainPending } from "@/lib/sessions/pending-instructions";
import { buildMidTaskUserMessage } from "./loop-drain";
import { broadcastInstructionState } from "@/background/instruction-broadcast"; // created in Task 9
```

If `broadcastInstructionState` doesn't exist yet (Task 9 creates it), use a temporary inline `port.postMessage` and replace in Task 9:

```ts
port.postMessage({
  type: "chat-instruction-state",
  sessionId,
  pending: [],
});
```

- [ ] **Step 7.3: Type-check**

```bash
pnpm tsc --noEmit
```
Expected: clean. If `agentMessages.push` complains about AgentMessage shape, double-check `buildMidTaskUserMessage` returns the right `role: "user"` shape that AgentMessage union accepts.

- [ ] **Step 7.4: Run existing loop tests**

```bash
pnpm vitest run src/lib/agent/
```
Expected: existing tests still pass. The drain on empty queue is a no-op so no behavioral regression.

- [ ] **Step 7.5: Commit**

```bash
git add src/lib/agent/loop.ts
git commit -m "feat(agent): wire mid-task drain into runAgentLoop iteration top (#34)

drainPending runs after the abort check and before the LLM stream
call, on every iteration. Empty queue = no-op. Non-empty queue
pushes a merged <untrusted_user_message source=\"mid_task\"> into
agentMessages and broadcasts empty state to the panel."
```

## Phase 4: SW port handlers + reconnect broadcast

### Task 8: Handle `chat-instruction-add`

**Files:**
- Modify: `src/background/index.ts`

- [ ] **Step 8.1: Locate the port listener**

```bash
grep -n "port.onMessage.addListener\|chat-start.*type\|chat-abort.*type" src/background/index.ts | head
```

The listener is around line 1274 (in the explore notes). You'll see a sequence of `else if (message.type === ...)` branches.

- [ ] **Step 8.2: Add handler for `chat-instruction-add`**

After the `chat-abort` branch (line ~1292), insert:

```ts
} else if (message.type === "chat-instruction-add") {
  if (!verifyPortSession(message.sessionId, "chat-instruction-add")) return;

  // Reject if loop has ended for this session — panel will fall back to chat-start
  if (!inFlightSessionIds.has(message.sessionId)) {
    const reply: ChatInstructionRejectedMessage = {
      type: "chat-instruction-rejected",
      sessionId: message.sessionId,
      chatMessageId: message.chatMessageId,
      reason: "not-streaming",
    };
    port.postMessage(reply);
    return;
  }

  // Append to queue then broadcast new state
  void (async () => {
    try {
      await addPending(message.sessionId, {
        chatMessageId: message.chatMessageId,
        content: message.content,
        ...(message.expandedForLLM !== undefined
          ? { expandedForLLM: message.expandedForLLM }
          : {}),
        ...(message.attachments?.length ? { attachments: message.attachments } : {}),
        ...(message.quotes?.length ? { quotes: message.quotes } : {}),
        createdAt: Date.now(),
      });
      // Broadcast new state (includes the just-added entry)
      const state = await readAgentState(message.sessionId);
      port.postMessage({
        type: "chat-instruction-state",
        sessionId: message.sessionId,
        pending: (state?.pendingInstructions ?? []).map((p) => ({
          chatMessageId: p.chatMessageId,
          createdAt: p.createdAt,
        })),
      });
    } catch (e) {
      console.warn("[sw] chat-instruction-add failed:", e);
    }
  })();
}
```

Add imports near top of `src/background/index.ts`:

```ts
import { addPending } from "@/lib/sessions/pending-instructions";
import type {
  ChatInstructionRejectedMessage,
} from "@/types/messages";
```

If a `readAgentState` helper doesn't already exist in `src/background/`, add a tiny one (or inline `chrome.storage.local.get(agentKey(sessionId))` here — but prefer the helper).

- [ ] **Step 8.3: Type-check**

```bash
pnpm tsc --noEmit
```
Expected: clean. Exhaustive-check guards (if any) for `PortMessageToWorker` should now be satisfied for `chat-instruction-add` and complain only about `chat-instruction-cancel` (handled next task).

- [ ] **Step 8.4: Commit**

```bash
git add src/background/index.ts
git commit -m "feat(sw): handle chat-instruction-add port message (#34)

Adds to pendingInstructions queue when session is streaming;
replies with chat-instruction-rejected (reason=not-streaming)
otherwise. Broadcasts chat-instruction-state after successful add."
```

---

### Task 9: Handle `chat-instruction-cancel` + extract broadcast helper

**Files:**
- Modify: `src/background/index.ts`
- Create: `src/background/instruction-broadcast.ts`

- [ ] **Step 9.1: Extract `broadcastInstructionState` helper**

Create `src/background/instruction-broadcast.ts`:

```ts
import { agentKey } from "@/lib/sessions/storage";
import type { SessionAgentState } from "@/lib/sessions/types";
import type { ChatInstructionStateMessage } from "@/types/messages";

/**
 * Issue #34 — read current pendingInstructions from storage and broadcast
 * the slim payload (chatMessageId + createdAt only) to the panel via the
 * given port. Centralizes broadcast so callers (add handler, cancel handler,
 * drain in loop, reconnect) all use the same shape.
 */
export async function broadcastInstructionState(
  port: chrome.runtime.Port,
  sessionId: string,
): Promise<void> {
  const key = agentKey(sessionId);
  const res = await chrome.storage.local.get(key);
  const state = res[key] as SessionAgentState | undefined;
  const payload: ChatInstructionStateMessage = {
    type: "chat-instruction-state",
    sessionId,
    pending: (state?.pendingInstructions ?? []).map((p) => ({
      chatMessageId: p.chatMessageId,
      createdAt: p.createdAt,
    })),
  };
  try {
    port.postMessage(payload);
  } catch (e) {
    console.warn("[sw] broadcastInstructionState postMessage failed:", e);
  }
}
```

- [ ] **Step 9.2: Replace the inline broadcast in `loop.ts` drain block**

In `src/lib/agent/loop.ts` (Task 7 added an inline `port.postMessage`), replace with:

```ts
if (midTaskMsg) {
  agentMessages.push(midTaskMsg);
  await broadcastInstructionState(port, sessionId);
}
```

Import update:
```ts
import { broadcastInstructionState } from "@/background/instruction-broadcast";
```

- [ ] **Step 9.3: Use helper in `chat-instruction-add` handler too**

In `src/background/index.ts`, replace the inline broadcast in the `chat-instruction-add` branch (added Task 8) with:

```ts
await broadcastInstructionState(port, message.sessionId);
```

- [ ] **Step 9.4: Add `chat-instruction-cancel` handler**

After the `chat-instruction-add` branch:

```ts
} else if (message.type === "chat-instruction-cancel") {
  if (!verifyPortSession(message.sessionId, "chat-instruction-cancel")) return;
  void (async () => {
    try {
      await cancelPending(message.sessionId, message.chatMessageId);
      await broadcastInstructionState(port, message.sessionId);
    } catch (e) {
      console.warn("[sw] chat-instruction-cancel failed:", e);
    }
  })();
}
```

Add to existing import:
```ts
import { addPending, cancelPending } from "@/lib/sessions/pending-instructions";
import { broadcastInstructionState } from "./instruction-broadcast";
```

- [ ] **Step 9.5: Type-check**

```bash
pnpm tsc --noEmit
```
Expected: clean.

- [ ] **Step 9.6: Run all unit tests**

```bash
pnpm vitest run src/lib/sessions/ src/lib/agent/loop-drain.test.ts
```
Expected: all PASS.

- [ ] **Step 9.7: Commit**

```bash
git add src/background/index.ts src/background/instruction-broadcast.ts src/lib/agent/loop.ts
git commit -m "feat(sw): handle chat-instruction-cancel + extract broadcast helper (#34)

cancelPending is idempotent; broadcasts new state regardless. The
broadcastInstructionState helper centralizes the read-state →
postMessage flow used by add, cancel, and loop-top drain."
```

---

### Task 10: Broadcast pending on panel reconnect

**Files:**
- Modify: `src/background/index.ts`

- [ ] **Step 10.1: Locate `handlePanelMounted`**

```bash
grep -n "handlePanelMounted\|panel-mounted" src/background/index.ts | head
```

- [ ] **Step 10.2: Add broadcast at end of `handlePanelMounted`**

In `handlePanelMounted` (the function, not the listener branch), after any existing initial-broadcast logic (look for places it sends initial state), add:

```ts
// Issue #34 — sync pending instructions to the panel so the reconnected
// UI can re-decorate any pending bubbles in slot.messages.
await broadcastInstructionState(port, sessionId);
```

If `handlePanelMounted` is in a separate file (`src/background/port-handlers.ts`), edit there and import `broadcastInstructionState` from `./instruction-broadcast`.

- [ ] **Step 10.3: Type-check + run all tests**

```bash
pnpm tsc --noEmit && pnpm vitest run
```
Expected: clean + pass.

- [ ] **Step 10.4: Commit**

```bash
git add src/background/index.ts src/background/port-handlers.ts
git commit -m "feat(sw): broadcast pending state on panel reconnect (#34)

Guarantees a reconnected panel can re-paint pending badges without
the user having to interact first. Recovery covers panel reload,
SW idle eviction → restart, and tab close → reopen."
```

---

### Task 11: Drain on chat-start (consume post-abort pending)

**Files:**
- Modify: `src/background/index.ts`

Spec §4.4 Abort path: when user starts a new task and abort-saved pending exists, drain at chat-start handler entry and prepend the merged instructions to the new task's first user message.

- [ ] **Step 11.1: Locate `handleChatStream`**

```bash
grep -n "function handleChatStream\|handleChatStream(" src/background/index.ts | head
```

- [ ] **Step 11.2: Drain at the top of `handleChatStream`**

At the very top of `handleChatStream` (before kicking off `runAgentLoop`), before any modification of `messages`:

```ts
// Issue #34 — if a prior abort left pending instructions, merge them
// into the first user message of the new task so the user's earlier
// mid-task additions aren't lost.
const carryover = await drainPending(sessionId);
if (carryover.length > 0) {
  const lastIdx = messages.length - 1;
  const last = messages[lastIdx];
  if (last && last.role === "user" && typeof last.content === "string") {
    const merged = carryover
      .map((p, i) => `${i + 1}. ${p.expandedForLLM ?? p.content}`)
      .join("\n\n");
    messages = [
      ...messages.slice(0, lastIdx),
      {
        ...last,
        content: `${last.content}\n\n[Earlier mid-task additions]\n${merged}`,
      },
    ];
  }
  // Broadcast empty pending so panel removes pending decorations
  // immediately (the carryover messages live in slot.messages from
  // before; they'll just appear as part of the previous turn's history
  // without the pending badge once cross-reference fails).
  await broadcastInstructionState(port, sessionId);
}
```

Add imports if missing:
```ts
import { drainPending } from "@/lib/sessions/pending-instructions";
```

- [ ] **Step 11.3: Type-check + tests**

```bash
pnpm tsc --noEmit && pnpm vitest run
```
Expected: clean + pass.

- [ ] **Step 11.4: Commit**

```bash
git add src/background/index.ts
git commit -m "feat(sw): drain post-abort pending into next chat-start (#34)

Pending instructions saved across user-triggered abort are merged
into the first user message of the new task. Prevents user's
mid-task additions from being silently discarded."
```

---

## Phase 5: Panel-side hooks + UI

### Task 12: Hook plumbing — `addPendingInstruction` + `cancelPendingInstruction`

**Files:**
- Modify: `src/sidepanel/hooks/useSession/index.ts`

- [ ] **Step 12.1: Add a `pending` slot field**

Find the `Slot` shape (or wherever `slotsRef` entries are typed; search `streaming: boolean`):

```bash
grep -n "interface Slot\|streaming: boolean" src/sidepanel/hooks/useSession/index.ts | head -5
```

Extend with:

```ts
// inside Slot type
/** Issue #34 — broadcast snapshot of SW pendingInstructions for this session.
 *  Keyed by chatMessageId for O(1) lookup in chat-bubble render. */
pendingByChatMessageId: Map<string, { createdAt: number }>;
```

In all slot initializers (search for `streaming: false` to find them), add:
```ts
pendingByChatMessageId: new Map(),
```

- [ ] **Step 12.2: Listen for `chat-instruction-state`**

Find the existing port `onMessage` listener (search for `chat-chunk` handler):

```bash
grep -n "type === \"chat-chunk\"\|onMessage.addListener" src/sidepanel/hooks/useSession/index.ts | head
```

Add branch:

```ts
} else if (message.type === "chat-instruction-state") {
  const map = new Map<string, { createdAt: number }>();
  for (const p of message.pending) {
    map.set(p.chatMessageId, { createdAt: p.createdAt });
  }
  patchSlot(message.sessionId, { pendingByChatMessageId: map });
}
```

- [ ] **Step 12.3: Add `addPendingInstruction` action**

Below the existing `sendMessage` useCallback (around line 686):

```ts
const addPendingInstruction = useCallback(
  (input: SendMessageInput) => {
    const id = sessionIdRef.current;
    if (!id) return;
    const slot = slotsRef.current.get(id);
    if (!slot?.streaming) return; // safety: only during streaming
    const chatMessageId = ulid();
    const userMessage: DisplayMessage = {
      role: "user",
      content: input.content,
      id: chatMessageId,
      ...(input.expandedForLLM !== undefined
        ? { expandedForLLM: input.expandedForLLM }
        : {}),
      ...(input.attachments?.length ? { attachments: input.attachments } : {}),
      ...(input.quotes?.length ? { quotes: input.quotes } : {}),
    };
    const updated = [...(slot.messages ?? []), userMessage];
    patchSlot(id, { messages: updated });
    void persistMessagesById(id, updated);

    postWithReconnect(id, {
      type: "chat-instruction-add",
      sessionId: id,
      chatMessageId,
      content: input.content,
      ...(input.expandedForLLM !== undefined
        ? { expandedForLLM: input.expandedForLLM }
        : {}),
      ...(input.attachments?.length ? { attachments: input.attachments } : {}),
      ...(input.quotes?.length ? { quotes: input.quotes } : {}),
    });
  },
  [patchSlot, persistMessagesById, postWithReconnect],
);
```

Import `ulid` — check if it's already used (likely):
```bash
grep -n "ulid\|from \"ulid\"" src/sidepanel/hooks/useSession/index.ts | head
```
If not present, install: `pnpm add ulid` — but check `package.json` first; it's likely already there since other modules use it.

- [ ] **Step 12.4: Add `cancelPendingInstruction` action**

```ts
const cancelPendingInstruction = useCallback(
  (chatMessageId: string) => {
    const id = sessionIdRef.current;
    if (!id) return;
    const slot = slotsRef.current.get(id);
    if (!slot) return;
    const updated = (slot.messages ?? []).filter(
      (m) => !("id" in m && m.id === chatMessageId),
    );
    patchSlot(id, { messages: updated });
    void persistMessagesById(id, updated);

    postWithReconnect(id, {
      type: "chat-instruction-cancel",
      sessionId: id,
      chatMessageId,
    });
  },
  [patchSlot, persistMessagesById, postWithReconnect],
);
```

- [ ] **Step 12.5: Handle `chat-instruction-rejected`**

```ts
} else if (message.type === "chat-instruction-rejected") {
  // SW says loop already ended — fall back to chat-start.
  // The DisplayMessage was already added by addPendingInstruction;
  // we need to send chat-start with the full message history.
  const slot = slotsRef.current.get(message.sessionId);
  if (!slot) return;
  // Build chat history identical to sendMessage path: filter user+assistant only
  const flat = (slot.messages ?? []).filter(
    (m): m is { role: "user"; content: string; expandedForLLM?: string; id?: string } | { role: "assistant"; content: string } =>
      m.role === "user" || m.role === "assistant",
  );
  const chatMessages = flat.map((m) => ({
    role: m.role,
    content: m.role === "user" && m.expandedForLLM ? m.expandedForLLM : m.content,
  }));
  patchSlot(message.sessionId, {
    streaming: true,
    streamFinished: false,
    accumulated: "",
    streamingText: "",
    error: null,
  });
  postWithReconnect(message.sessionId, {
    type: "chat-start",
    messages: chatMessages,
    sessionId: message.sessionId,
  });
}
```

- [ ] **Step 12.6: Export new actions**

At the bottom of the hook (around line 927 where `sendMessage` is exported):

```ts
return {
  // ...existing
  sendMessage,
  addPendingInstruction,
  cancelPendingInstruction,
  // ...
};
```

Update the return type:
```ts
addPendingInstruction: (input: SendMessageInput) => void;
cancelPendingInstruction: (chatMessageId: string) => void;
```

And expose `pendingByChatMessageId` so the Chat component can read it:
```ts
// Inside the slot-derived state surface area (search for how `messages` is exposed)
pendingByChatMessageId: slot.pendingByChatMessageId,
```

- [ ] **Step 12.7: Type-check**

```bash
pnpm tsc --noEmit
```
Expected: clean.

- [ ] **Step 12.8: Commit**

```bash
git add src/sidepanel/hooks/useSession/index.ts
git commit -m "feat(panel): useSession actions for mid-task instructions (#34)

addPendingInstruction generates a ulid chatMessageId, writes the
DisplayMessage into slot.messages (with id), and sends
chat-instruction-add to the SW. cancelPendingInstruction filters the
DisplayMessage and sends chat-instruction-cancel. The hook also
listens for chat-instruction-state to update slot.pendingByChatMessageId
and falls back to chat-start on chat-instruction-rejected."
```

### Task 13: PendingInstructionList component

**Files:**
- Create: `src/sidepanel/components/PendingInstructionList.tsx`
- Create: `src/sidepanel/components/PendingInstructionList.test.tsx`

- [ ] **Step 13.1: Write failing test**

```tsx
// src/sidepanel/components/PendingInstructionList.test.tsx
import { describe, it, expect, vi } from "vitest";
import { render, screen, fireEvent } from "@testing-library/react";
import { PendingInstructionList } from "./PendingInstructionList";

describe("PendingInstructionList", () => {
  it("renders nothing when items empty", () => {
    const { container } = render(
      <PendingInstructionList items={[]} onCancel={() => {}} />,
    );
    expect(container.firstChild).toBeNull();
  });

  it("renders caption with count and each item text", () => {
    render(
      <PendingInstructionList
        items={[
          { chatMessageId: "m1", content: "first" },
          { chatMessageId: "m2", content: "second" },
        ]}
        onCancel={() => {}}
      />,
    );
    expect(screen.getByText(/2 IN QUEUE/i)).toBeInTheDocument();
    expect(screen.getByText("first")).toBeInTheDocument();
    expect(screen.getByText("second")).toBeInTheDocument();
  });

  it("calls onCancel with chatMessageId when × clicked", () => {
    const onCancel = vi.fn();
    render(
      <PendingInstructionList
        items={[{ chatMessageId: "m1", content: "first" }]}
        onCancel={onCancel}
      />,
    );
    const cancelBtn = screen.getByRole("button", { name: /cancel/i });
    fireEvent.click(cancelBtn);
    expect(onCancel).toHaveBeenCalledWith("m1");
  });
});
```

- [ ] **Step 13.2: Run to verify failure**

```bash
pnpm vitest run src/sidepanel/components/PendingInstructionList.test.tsx
```
Expected: FAIL — component file does not exist.

- [ ] **Step 13.3: Implement the component**

Create `src/sidepanel/components/PendingInstructionList.tsx`:

```tsx
import { useT } from "@/i18n/use-t";

export interface PendingItem {
  chatMessageId: string;
  content: string;
}

export function PendingInstructionList({
  items,
  onCancel,
}: {
  items: PendingItem[];
  onCancel: (chatMessageId: string) => void;
}) {
  const t = useT();
  if (items.length === 0) return null;
  return (
    <div className="flex flex-col gap-1.5">
      <div className="flex items-center gap-2 text-[10px] font-mono uppercase tracking-wider">
        <div className="h-1.5 w-1.5 rounded-full bg-[#C9A268]" />
        <span className="text-[#C9A268]">
          {t("chat.pending.captionPrefix")} · {items.length}{" "}
          {t("chat.pending.captionSuffix")}
        </span>
        <div className="flex-1" />
        <span className="text-fg-3">{t("chat.pending.hint")}</span>
      </div>
      {items.map((item) => (
        <div
          key={item.chatMessageId}
          className="group flex items-start gap-2.5 rounded-lg border border-[#1F242C] bg-[#14181E] px-3 py-2.5 transition-colors hover:border-[#2A3038] hover:bg-[#181D24]"
        >
          <div className="mt-1 flex h-3.5 w-3.5 flex-shrink-0 items-center justify-center">
            <div className="h-1.5 w-1.5 rounded-full bg-[#C9A268]" />
          </div>
          <div className="flex-1 text-[13px] leading-[18px] text-[#C2C7CF]">
            {item.content}
          </div>
          <button
            type="button"
            aria-label={t("chat.pending.cancel")}
            title={t("chat.pending.cancel")}
            onClick={() => onCancel(item.chatMessageId)}
            className="flex h-4 w-4 flex-shrink-0 items-center justify-center rounded text-fg-3 opacity-0 transition-opacity hover:text-fg-1 group-hover:opacity-100"
          >
            <svg width="10" height="10" viewBox="0 0 10 10" fill="none" aria-hidden="true">
              <path d="M2 2 L8 8 M8 2 L2 8" stroke="currentColor" strokeWidth="1.2" strokeLinecap="round" />
            </svg>
          </button>
        </div>
      ))}
    </div>
  );
}
```

- [ ] **Step 13.4: Add i18n keys**

Edit the i18n files (find them):
```bash
ls src/i18n/
grep -rn "chat\.composerPlaceholder" src/i18n/
```

Add to both locales:
```ts
// src/i18n/en.ts (and zh.ts)
"chat.pending.captionPrefix": "PENDING",
"chat.pending.captionSuffix": "IN QUEUE",
"chat.pending.hint": "SENT NEXT TURN",
"chat.pending.cancel": "Cancel",
```

zh translations:
```ts
"chat.pending.captionPrefix": "待发送",
"chat.pending.captionSuffix": "条排队",
"chat.pending.hint": "下一轮加入",
"chat.pending.cancel": "撤回",
```

- [ ] **Step 13.5: Run test**

```bash
pnpm vitest run src/sidepanel/components/PendingInstructionList.test.tsx
```
Expected: PASS.

### Task 14: Wire `Chat.tsx` — textarea, action row, PendingInstructionList

**Files:**
- Modify: `src/sidepanel/components/Chat.tsx`

- [ ] **Step 14.1: Pass new actions + pending map through to ComposerProps**

Locate the `Chat` function-component (search for `streaming, streamingText`):

```bash
grep -n "useSession()\|const {.*sendMessage" src/sidepanel/components/Chat.tsx | head
```

Pull `addPendingInstruction`, `cancelPendingInstruction`, `pendingByChatMessageId` from `useSession()` alongside `sendMessage` and `abort`. Pass them into the Composer subcomponent prop list.

- [ ] **Step 14.2: Flip textarea `disabled` condition**

In the Composer subcomponent (around line 1480 — `disabled={streaming}`), change to:

```tsx
disabled={!sessionAllowsInput}
```

where `sessionAllowsInput` is computed in the parent and passed in as a prop. Definition: `status === "active"`. If `status` isn't already in scope, plumb it down from `useSession()`.

Update placeholder: **unchanged** (leave as-is per spec §5.1).

- [ ] **Step 14.3: Add Queue button to action row**

Find the existing `streaming ? <button onClick={onStop}>...</button> : <PieSendButton ... />` block (around line 1546). Change to:

```tsx
{streaming ? (
  <>
    {input.trim() && (
      <PieSendButton
        onClick={onQueueInstruction}
        disabled={false}
        aria-label={t("chat.pending.queue")}
        title={t("chat.pending.queue")}
      />
    )}
    <button
      type="button"
      onClick={onStop}
      aria-label={t("chat.cancelRunningTask")}
      title={t("chat.cancelRunningTask")}
      className="flex h-8 w-8 flex-shrink-0 items-center justify-center rounded text-fg-1 transition-opacity hover:opacity-70"
    >
      <svg width="16" height="16" viewBox="0 0 1024 1024" fill="currentColor" aria-hidden="true">
        <path d="M256 256v512h512V256H256z m597.333333-85.333333v682.666666H170.666667V170.666667h682.666666z" />
      </svg>
    </button>
  </>
) : (
  <PieSendButton onClick={onSend} disabled={!input.trim()} />
)}
```

Note the order: **Queue button left of STOP**. PieSendButton reused for the Queue visual.

Add `onQueueInstruction: () => void` to the Composer props interface.

Add i18n key:
```ts
"chat.pending.queue": "Queue for next turn",
```
zh:
```ts
"chat.pending.queue": "加入下一轮",
```

- [ ] **Step 14.4: Wire unified `onSubmit` dispatch**

Refactor the Composer subcomponent props: replace `onSend: () => void` with `onSubmit: () => void` (single submit callback the textarea Enter-key and both buttons call). The Composer no longer needs to know whether to send vs queue — the parent's `handleSubmit` decides.

In the Chat component (parent of Composer), find the existing `sendMessage(...)` call site (search `sessionSendMessage(` or `sendMessage({`) and replicate its argument-building logic (slash expansion, attachment + quote staging, clear-on-send). The new unified handler:

```tsx
const handleSubmit = useCallback(() => {
  if (!input.trim()) return;
  // Same payload-building as the existing sendMessage call site: copy
  // the existing { content, expandedForLLM, attachments, quotes } object
  // construction from there into a local `payload`.
  const payload = buildSendPayload(input, attachments, quotes);
  if (streaming) {
    addPendingInstruction(payload);
  } else {
    sendMessage(payload);
  }
  setInput("");
  clearAttachments(); // whatever the current sendMessage path does
  clearQuotes();
}, [input, streaming, attachments, quotes, addPendingInstruction, sendMessage]);
```

Pass `handleSubmit` as the Composer's `onSubmit` prop. Wire both the Queue button and the textarea Enter-key handler to `onSubmit`. The non-streaming `<PieSendButton>` also uses `onSubmit`.

- [ ] **Step 14.5: Mount PendingInstructionList above the input box**

In the Composer subcomponent's outer container (around line 1460), insert above the box-wrapper div:

```tsx
{pendingItems.length > 0 && (
  <div className="px-1 pb-2">
    <PendingInstructionList
      items={pendingItems}
      onCancel={onCancelPending}
    />
  </div>
)}
```

`pendingItems` is computed from cross-referencing `slot.messages` (DisplayMessage[]) and `pendingByChatMessageId`:

```tsx
const pendingItems = messages.flatMap((m) => {
  if (m.role !== "user" || !m.id) return [];
  if (!pendingByChatMessageId.has(m.id)) return [];
  return [{ chatMessageId: m.id, content: m.content }];
});
```

`onCancelPending` is `cancelPendingInstruction` plumbed through props.

Import:
```tsx
import { PendingInstructionList } from "./PendingInstructionList";
```

- [ ] **Step 14.6: Manual smoke test**

```bash
pnpm dev
```

Load extension, start a long-running task (e.g. "list all tabs and group by domain"), and while it's streaming:
1. Type something in textarea → Queue button appears next to STOP ✓
2. Hit Enter or click Queue → pending row appears above input ✓
3. Hover pending row → × visible ✓
4. Click × → row disappears ✓
5. Wait for next ReAct step → pending row disappears (consumed by drain), bubble in chat history loses pending badge but stays as user message ✓
6. Submit pending then click STOP → row remains; sending a new chat-start should merge them ✓
7. Click another session in drawer, type → goes via normal chat-start (not pending) ✓

If any step fails, debug before committing.

- [ ] **Step 14.7: Commit**

```bash
git add src/sidepanel/components/Chat.tsx src/i18n/
git commit -m "feat(panel): wire mid-task instructions into Composer (#34)

textarea stays enabled during streaming (gated on session status only).
Queue button (reuses PieSendButton) appears left of STOP when input
non-empty. PendingInstructionList mounts above the input when any
slot.messages bubble's id matches a SW-broadcast pendingInstructions
entry."
```

## Phase 6: Cross-layer + recovery tests

### Task 15: Cross-layer happy-path test

**Files:**
- Create: `src/__tests__/cross-layer/mid-task-instructions.test.ts`

- [ ] **Step 15.1: Establish test scaffolding**

Open an existing cross-layer test to mirror conventions:

```bash
ls src/__tests__/cross-layer/ | head
```

Pick one similar in shape (e.g. `consent-gating.test.ts` or `chat-start-and-abort.test.ts`) and copy its setup pattern (mock chrome APIs, port, etc.).

- [ ] **Step 15.2: Write the happy-path test**

```ts
// src/__tests__/cross-layer/mid-task-instructions.test.ts
import { describe, it, expect, beforeEach, vi } from "vitest";
// Import the harness pattern from a sibling test
import { setupBgTest, runOneStep } from "./helpers"; // use whatever shape exists
import { addPending } from "@/lib/sessions/pending-instructions";

describe("mid-task instructions: happy path", () => {
  let h: ReturnType<typeof setupBgTest>;
  beforeEach(() => {
    h = setupBgTest();
  });

  it("drains pending and pushes merged user message before next LLM call", async () => {
    // 1) Start a chat-start with a single user message
    await h.startChat("Group all my tabs.");
    // 2) Mid-stream, add two pending
    await addPending(h.sessionId, {
      chatMessageId: "m1",
      content: "Also pin the result.",
      createdAt: 1,
    });
    await addPending(h.sessionId, {
      chatMessageId: "m2",
      content: "Skip the GitHub tab.",
      createdAt: 2,
    });
    // 3) Advance one ReAct step (helper triggers the loop's next iteration)
    const llmCallArgs = await h.captureNextLlmCallMessages();
    // 4) Assert the last user message in the LLM-facing messages is the
    //    merged mid_task wrapper containing both texts
    const lastUser = llmCallArgs.findLast((m: any) => m.role === "user");
    expect(lastUser.content).toContain('<untrusted_user_message source="mid_task">');
    expect(lastUser.content).toContain("Also pin the result.");
    expect(lastUser.content).toContain("Skip the GitHub tab.");
    // 5) Queue empty + state broadcasted
    const state = await h.readAgentState();
    expect(state.pendingInstructions).toEqual([]);
    expect(h.lastBroadcastInstructionState()?.pending).toEqual([]);
  });
});
```

If the existing helper pattern doesn't expose `captureNextLlmCallMessages`, build it from the existing mock of `streamChatByProvider` / `dispatchStreamChat`. Replace pseudocode with the actual harness API.

- [ ] **Step 15.3: Run test, iterate until pass**

```bash
pnpm vitest run src/__tests__/cross-layer/mid-task-instructions.test.ts
```
Expected: PASS. If FAIL, fix the integration (most likely loop wiring or harness import).

- [ ] **Step 15.4: Commit**

```bash
git add src/__tests__/cross-layer/mid-task-instructions.test.ts
git commit -m "test(cross-layer): mid-task happy path — add → drain → LLM merge (#34)"
```

---

### Task 16: Cross-layer cancel + reject + multi-merge tests

**Files:**
- Modify: `src/__tests__/cross-layer/mid-task-instructions.test.ts`

- [ ] **Step 16.1: Add cancel test**

```ts
it("cancel removes from queue and never reaches LLM", async () => {
  await h.startChat("Task A");
  await addPending(h.sessionId, { chatMessageId: "m1", content: "Cancel me.", createdAt: 1 });
  // simulate panel sending cancel
  await h.dispatchToPort({
    type: "chat-instruction-cancel",
    sessionId: h.sessionId,
    chatMessageId: "m1",
  });
  const llmCallArgs = await h.captureNextLlmCallMessages();
  const lastUser = llmCallArgs.findLast((m: any) => m.role === "user");
  expect(lastUser.content).not.toContain("Cancel me.");
  expect(h.lastBroadcastInstructionState()?.pending).toEqual([]);
});
```

- [ ] **Step 16.2: Add reject test**

```ts
it("add after loop ends → chat-instruction-rejected", async () => {
  await h.startChat("Task A");
  await h.runUntilDone(); // helper that drives the loop to completion
  const replies = h.collectRepliesAfter(() =>
    h.dispatchToPort({
      type: "chat-instruction-add",
      sessionId: h.sessionId,
      chatMessageId: "late-m1",
      content: "Late add.",
    }),
  );
  expect(replies.some((r: any) => r.type === "chat-instruction-rejected")).toBe(true);
});
```

- [ ] **Step 16.3: Add abort-carryover test**

```ts
it("abort then chat-start merges leftover pending into first user message", async () => {
  await h.startChat("Task A");
  await addPending(h.sessionId, { chatMessageId: "m1", content: "leftover", createdAt: 1 });
  await h.dispatchToPort({ type: "chat-abort" });
  // user starts a new task
  await h.startChat("Task B");
  const llmCallArgs = await h.captureNextLlmCallMessages();
  const firstUser = llmCallArgs.find((m: any) => m.role === "user");
  expect(firstUser.content).toContain("Task B");
  expect(firstUser.content).toContain("leftover");
  expect(firstUser.content).toContain("[Earlier mid-task additions]");
});
```

- [ ] **Step 16.4: Run all 3**

```bash
pnpm vitest run src/__tests__/cross-layer/mid-task-instructions.test.ts
```
Expected: all 4 tests (15 + 16) PASS.

- [ ] **Step 16.5: Commit**

```bash
git add src/__tests__/cross-layer/mid-task-instructions.test.ts
git commit -m "test(cross-layer): cancel + reject + abort-carryover (#34)"
```

---

### Task 17: Recovery tests (SW restart, reconnect broadcast)

**Files:**
- Create: `src/__tests__/cross-layer/mid-task-recovery.test.ts`

- [ ] **Step 17.1: Write recovery test**

```ts
// src/__tests__/cross-layer/mid-task-recovery.test.ts
import { describe, it, expect, beforeEach } from "vitest";
import { setupBgTest } from "./helpers";
import { addPending } from "@/lib/sessions/pending-instructions";

describe("mid-task recovery", () => {
  let h: ReturnType<typeof setupBgTest>;
  beforeEach(() => {
    h = setupBgTest();
  });

  it("SW restart preserves pendingInstructions; resume drains on next iteration", async () => {
    await h.startChat("Task A");
    await addPending(h.sessionId, { chatMessageId: "m1", content: "keep me", createdAt: 1 });
    // Simulate SW eviction — discard background module state but keep storage
    await h.simulateSwRestart();
    // Resume session
    await h.resumeSession(h.sessionId);
    const llmCallArgs = await h.captureNextLlmCallMessages();
    const lastUser = llmCallArgs.findLast((m: any) => m.role === "user");
    expect(lastUser.content).toContain("keep me");
  });

  it("panel reconnect broadcasts current pending state", async () => {
    await h.startChat("Task A");
    await addPending(h.sessionId, { chatMessageId: "m1", content: "alive", createdAt: 1 });
    // Simulate panel disconnect + reconnect with same sessionId
    await h.reconnectPanel(h.sessionId);
    const lastState = h.lastBroadcastInstructionState();
    expect(lastState?.pending).toHaveLength(1);
    expect(lastState?.pending[0].chatMessageId).toBe("m1");
  });
});
```

If `setupBgTest` lacks `simulateSwRestart` or `reconnectPanel`, look at how `chat-start-recovery.test.ts` (or similar) tests SW restart and copy the pattern.

- [ ] **Step 17.2: Run + iterate**

```bash
pnpm vitest run src/__tests__/cross-layer/mid-task-recovery.test.ts
```
Expected: PASS.

- [ ] **Step 17.3: Commit**

```bash
git add src/__tests__/cross-layer/mid-task-recovery.test.ts
git commit -m "test(cross-layer): SW restart + panel reconnect recovery (#34)"
```

---

## Phase 7: Verification + release notes

### Task 18: Full test sweep + build

- [ ] **Step 18.1: Run all tests**

```bash
pnpm test
```
Expected: all PASS, including the new pending/recovery tests and unchanged existing tests.

- [ ] **Step 18.2: Build**

```bash
pnpm build
```
Expected: clean build. Verify `dist/manifest.json` still references `.js` (not `.ts`) for service_worker and content_scripts (release.yml invariant).

- [ ] **Step 18.3: Manual smoke (sidepanel)**

```bash
pnpm dev
```

Run through the manual checklist from Task 14.6 plus:
- Submit pending → close panel → reopen → pending row still visible ✓
- Force SW restart (chrome://extensions → reload extension while panel open) → reconnect → pending row visible after reconnect broadcast ✓
- Multi-session: A streaming with pending; switch to B; B's input goes normally; switch back to A; A's pending still there ✓

- [ ] **Step 18.4: If smoke passed, commit any minor fixes**

```bash
git status
# If clean, no commit needed.
# If small fixes were required during smoke testing, commit them with descriptive messages.
```

---

### Task 19: Release notes + docs/solutions trace

**Files:**
- Modify: `package.json` (bump version e.g. 0.14.0 → 0.15.0)
- Modify: `manifest.json` (same version)
- Create: `docs/release-notes/v0.15.0.md`
- Create: `docs/solutions/2026-05-27-mid-task-instructions.md`

- [ ] **Step 19.1: Bump version**

In both `package.json` and `manifest.json`, bump version (check current value first):
```bash
grep '"version"' package.json manifest.json
```

- [ ] **Step 19.2: Release notes**

Sample structure (mirror an existing release note):

```md
# v0.15.0 — Mid-Task Instructions

## What's new

You can now send follow-up instructions while the agent is working. Each
addition joins the next ReAct step's context. Queue them up; cancel any
that haven't been sent yet by clicking the × on the pending row.

## 中文摘要

agent 工作时可以追加指令；下一轮自动加入。未发送的可点 × 撤回。

## Invariants
- Mid-task instructions are wrapped in `<untrusted_user_message source="mid_task">` — never enter the system role.
- SW is the sole writer of `SessionAgentState.pendingInstructions`.
- Pending survives SW restart and panel reload (persisted via writeAtomic).
```

- [ ] **Step 19.3: Solution trace doc**

```md
# Solution: Mid-Task Instructions (Issue #34)

Spec: `docs/specs/2026-05-27-mid-task-instructions-design.md`
Plan: `docs/plans/2026-05-27-mid-task-instructions.md`

## Invariants added
- P-MTI-1 .. P-MTI-9 (see spec §9)

## Files touched
- `src/lib/sessions/types.ts` — add PendingInstruction + queue field
- `src/lib/sessions/pending-instructions.ts` — add/cancel/drain (SW)
- `src/types/messages.ts` — new port messages + DisplayMessage.id
- `src/lib/agent/loop-drain.ts` — buildMidTaskUserMessage
- `src/lib/agent/loop.ts` — drain at iteration top
- `src/background/instruction-broadcast.ts` — centralized state broadcast
- `src/background/index.ts` — handle three new port messages + reconnect + chat-start carry-over
- `src/sidepanel/hooks/useSession/index.ts` — actions + listener + state surface
- `src/sidepanel/components/PendingInstructionList.tsx` — UI
- `src/sidepanel/components/Chat.tsx` — Composer wiring

## Why these decisions
See spec §6 for the full decision table.
```

- [ ] **Step 19.4: Commit**

```bash
git add package.json manifest.json docs/release-notes/v0.15.0.md docs/solutions/2026-05-27-mid-task-instructions.md
git commit -m "docs: release notes + solution trace for mid-task instructions (#34)"
```

- [ ] **Step 19.5: Tag (only if user explicitly asks to release)**

Per CLAUDE.md `## Release`: bump version commit first, then tag:

```bash
git tag v0.15.0
git push origin main v0.15.0
```

`release.yml` will pick up the tag and produce the zip asset.
