* fix(native-chat): a /compact sent while the agent works waits in line instead of being refused

* test(native-chat): build the admission test's submissions without a type assertion

* fix(native-chat): a /clear refused while the agent works says so plainly; a /compact behind an unsent message waits for it quietly

* test(native-chat): name the admission test's cases for the sends they model

* fix(native-chat): a /compact refused while the agent works reads plainly too; a command card offers no Edit

* test(native-chat): a refused /compact reads the plain sentence

* fix(native-chat): a refused command card is spent and said once; a command card offers Send while the agent is idle; /compact behind an unsent message is not taken

* test(native-chat): keep the queued receipt's narrowing inside the wait

* fix(native-chat): spend a command card only when its own turn says why; refuse a queued command without a hand-off, with its reason; a queue send on its way reads as sending

* fix(native-chat): a recorded send is no sending card; queue lists land at once; a spent card's wait says to run it again; only /compact or /clear give way to returned text

* refactor(native-chat): derive the sending cards inside the queued-messages hook

* fix(native-chat): keep protocol-version and the agent-session params under the line limit; the send capabilities get their own module

* fix(native-chat): with the agent idle, a command behind this window's own unsent message says it is still being sent

* fix(native-chat): the queued-commands capability stays a plain constant beside the others; main's send capabilities back to its text

* test(native-chat): keep the rewind suite under its line limit after main's growth

* fix(native-chat): one import per module in the command send; a rewind on its way holds commands, tested

* test(native-chat): type the rewind module mock with a type import

* test(native-chat): a command card cut short by a restart waits or is kept like any card; kept-card captions name only controls shown

* fix(native-chat): a held command card, which the queue skips, no longer forces later sends to queue

* fix(native-chat): a command's refusal line goes once what it waits on is gone

A refusal that names something the chat shows (the agent working, a pending prompt, background
tasks, an unsent message) is said only while that still holds, derived each render, and dropped
once it ends. Other composer errors are unchanged.

* fix(mobile): a command's refusal banner goes once what it waits on is gone

The phone's banner keeps a refusal naming the agent working or a pending prompt only while the
chat still shows it, dropped each render once it ends. Background tasks, which the phone can't
see, and generic errors behave as before. The host-reason mapping is shared with desktop.

* fix(native-chat): a refusal behind an earlier message names whether it is being sent or offers Retry

Each line now goes when its own state ends: a send that fails stops being sent, and a resend
stops offering Retry.

* test(native-chat): a Stop behind a typed /compact keeps the taken-back message on screen; the in-doubt case says so

* fix(native-chat): a command refused while the queue is about to send reads working, as the pane does

* Update held command fixture for the merged queue model

* Restart one host at a time in the recovery ordering test

* fix: preserve person queue reserve for chat commands
