Queued Input Feature Analysis
Analysis of adding message queue while Claude is busy
Output
📨 Queued Input Feature
Re: Health Monitor
You're right - konsole already has basic health endpoints (/health, /api/sessions/:id/status). What's missing is a watcher that polls these and alerts you. But that's a separate topic!
Yes, Queued Input is Possible!
Terminal Claude Code does exactly this - you can type while Claude works, and it queues your message. Here's how we'd implement it:
| Current | With Queue |
|---|---|
| Input disabled while working | Input always enabled |
| Must wait for completion | Type anytime, queued messages shown |
| Single request at a time | Queue indicator: "1 message queued" |
Implementation Plan
- Keep input enabled - Remove
input.disabled = truewhile working - Add queue array -
let messageQueue = []in state - Queue indicator - Show "1 queued" badge near input when queue not empty
- Auto-send on complete - When current request finishes, auto-send next queued message
- Queue management UI - Show queued messages, allow delete/reorder

└───────────────────────────────────────────┘Ready to Implement?
This is a relatively straightforward change - mostly UI/state management in dashboard-console.ts. Want me to implement it now?
