 - **Context panel:** a new surface rail brings Changes, pull requests, files, terminal, notes, plans, previews, and side chats into one resizable panel. The pull-request surface now shows live checks and comments, and can attach failed checks or comments to a chat draft.
 - **Chat composer:** prompts now render Markdown emphasis, attention lines, file and agent mentions, slash commands, snippets, attachment citations, and `~path` references directly while you type. File mentions can be edited in place.

 - Sessions: fixed missing activity-based sorting; chats now move in the list when they start or finish instead of repeatedly reordering while a response streams.
 - Chat: selecting text from Markdown code blocks now preserves the code fences, language, and surrounding block structure when adding it to the composer or starting a new session (thanks to @ChangeHow).
 - Chat: code blocks no longer shift line layout or merge adjacent text while rendering, and copied code keeps its original text (thanks to @ChangeHow).
+- Chat/Permissions: sending a message while a permission prompt is open now denies pending requests in the session and its subagents, then queues the message for the next turn (thanks to @tomzx).
 - Chat/Subagents: subagent chats can be prompted when direct subagent prompting is enabled, even if the parent session has not loaded.
 - Chat: jumping to messages in long conversations now lands on the intended message when earlier rows have not been rendered yet.
 - Settings: added an option to hide starter suggestions on the new-session screen.
