…issions Move the reload detachment out of the `_process_message` dispatcher and into the `/reload` branch of `_handle_command`, matching the pattern every other `_schedule_off_message_pump` consumer uses (detach from inside the handler, not from the router). `/reload` opens no modal, so use a dedicated tracked task via `_schedule_reload` rather than the single global modal-continuation slot, whose "answer the pending prompt first" rejection would be a lie here. Preserve messages queued while a detached reload restarts an idle server: snapshot them before the restart's `_discard_queue()`, restore after, and drain once the reload finishes, so typing submitted mid-reload is no longer silently dropped.

Typing in the chat input now remains responsive while
/reloadis running./reloadawaited config, theme, skill, plugin, and hook refreshes directly on Textual's App message pump, preventing key events from reaching the chat input. It now uses the existing detached command continuation so typing stays live while submissions queue until reload completes;/restartalready detaches its respawn for the same reason.Made by Open SWE
