Description
What problem are you trying to solve?
Cursor and other AI IDEs let you click/edit a previous prompt in the conversation history and re-run from there. Command Code's chat doesn't support this — to re-run a past prompt you can only copy it manually.
What would improve it?
It would be a big UX improvement to let users edit any prior message inline, then submit the whole thread from that point (regenerating the assistant response from the edited message).
What do you do today?
Just keep sending the edits in next prompts.

Research direction
The issue names only the Chat and composer product area; no files, tests, or entry points are provided. Start by locating the chat-history message and composer components, then trace how submitting a prompt creates assistant responses. Done means a prior user message can be edited and resubmitted with the thread regenerated from that point.
