Queued message interrupts todolist execution #5135
Description
Description
When I start a todolist, I would expect the agent to run through the entire list (unless I interrupt it with esc), then process queued message afterwards. However, it doesn't seem to do that. The queued message seems to wait for whatever current generation to stop before interrupting it's task.
In all fairness, you can then ask it to resume the previous list and it seems to be able to start from where it left off, but I could imagine it wouldn't always work for longer running tasks.
OpenCode version
1.0.133
Steps to reproduce
- Start a session and ask it to make a list and then execute on the list
- Wait for it to make the list and start on the first point
- Send a new message while it's working (message will be queued)
- Observe how the agent is interrupted.

How do you used queued messages, because I think there are people who expect the current behavior

I use it to give my thoughts on changes faster. Or to get it to start working on other things once it's done.
Also, for smaller tasks, it seems to perform better with queuing vs 1 big task list (on big pickle).
Definitely don't need to change the behavior (you can work around it once you're aware of it) but it just wasn't very intuitive to me.
Closing since it doesn't seem to be an actual bug.

TBH, I was expecting the same behavior as OP, and I don't know any workaround alterntive approaches. I think it can be quiet useful for queuing something after you already told AI to fix compilation (usually it succeds, so it can after it work on next feature)

I've found that asking it to "add x todo list then continue where you left off" usually works. (it does interrupt, but with big pickle at least it's able to start up again without issues)
