What Problem This Solves
agent_managerprompts waited up to 30 seconds for the target session to become idle, then failed withonly idle sessions can be prompted. This prevented one agent from sending a follow-up while another agent was working, even though manual chat messages already used the backend prompt queue.Why This Change Was Made
Submit validated prompts directly to the existing backend queue instead of polling for idle. This uses the same queue and cancellation behavior as chat rather than adding another queue in the extension.
Keep managed-session ownership checks, pending-question and permission checks, pre-submission cancellation checks, stable message IDs, and bridge request deduplication. Tool output now confirms prompt acceptance rather than implying that execution has finished.
User Impact
Prompts to busy or retrying sessions are accepted without waiting for idle. The follow-up appears as queued while active work continues. Pending questions and permissions still block orchestration prompts and must be resolved first. No new configuration is required.
Evidence

The test environment was cleaned up. This exercised one queued follow-up, not multi-message FIFO ordering or a live model provider.Queued while the target is busy:
