   Thanks for updating the issue! It now follows the feature request template with the verification checkbox checked and a clear description of the problem and proposal. The needs:compliance label has been removed.

    Thanks for the suggestion! You're asking for a small, always-visible Continue button in the composer dock area. It would show when the session is idle and hide while streaming, and clicking it would let the model resume from the conversation state after a run stops mid-task, without you having to type a message. The maintainers will consider it.

    Related issues:

    • [FEATURE]: command to continue session inference #44921: the same capability as a slash command. As you noted, both could share one backend.
    • session: auto-continue after a stream interruption is delivered as an unmarked synthetic user message #56295: how an automatic continue after a stream interruption is currently represented in the session.
    • [FEATURE]: Native infinite agent mode (auto-continue until done, with limits) #47019: an earlier (closed) request for automatic continue-until-done.

    This can't be built as a plugin right now, because the app's plugin API doesn't let plugins add buttons to the composer docks.
