Description

I'm still having trouble with queued messages in the main chat on Windows. Queuing messages in side chats works for me now, but editing a queued message in the main window can still leave me unable to send it.

The error is:

App-server queued follow-up no longer exists

This happens when I queue a message while a task is running, click Edit, change the text, and try to send it again. I just want to correct a pending instruction and put it back in the queue.

My installed Windows package is 26.908.9136.0, checked on September 17. I saw the reply saying a fix was coming in the next release, but I don't know whether this version includes it. Could you confirm which Windows version fixes this?

Related: #44781 for the edit error and #45087 for side-chat queuing. I'm opening this separately to track the main-chat problem that I'm still seeing.

For context, a local patch installation was attempted earlier but failed, so those queue changes never took effect. The temporary files were removed.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Windows main-chat flow: queue a message during a running task, edit it, and resend it; then trace the main-chat edit/resend path and the app-server queued follow-up lifecycle. Done means the edited message can be placed back in the queue without the “no longer exists” error, while side-chat behavior remains working.
