Summary
When startTurn finds the state machine non-IDLE it throws "Session is still busy finishing the previous turn..."; sendMessage surfaces this as a "Thinking process error" toast and drainPendingQueue marks the queued item failed, even though the situation is transient (the session was revived busy after the drain gate confirmed IDLE). The thrown error is now tagged isSessionBusy; sendMessage drops the optimistic turn and re-throws without toasting, and drainPendingQueue silently re-queues the item so auto-drain reapplies once the session returns to IDLE. Includes a regression test for the silent re-queue path.
Area
src/web-ui/src/flow_chat/session-drivers/local/LocalSessionDriver.ts + src/web-ui/src/flow_chat/services/flow-chat-manager/MessageModule.ts (+ MessageModule.test.ts).
Reproduction or evidence
At 32f2427, LocalSessionDriver.ts :372 throws the still-busy error without any marker, MessageModule.ts :613 marks drained items failed, and :484 shows the error toast; there is no isSessionBusy symbol anywhere in the flow_chat tree (Grep zero hits). Regression test asserts the queued item is re-queued (not failed), no toast is shown, and the item is not removed.
Environment
All platforms (frontend queue/driver); baseline 32f2427.
AI-assisted change. Testing: verified locally (pnpm vitest run MessageModule.test.ts 27 passed, 0 failed, including the new regression case; pnpm run type-check (tsc --noEmit) exit 0 with no errors).
