2.1.1 keeps useFlueAgent streaming after reload while an observed submission remains unsettled. After a reload, useFlueAgent derives active submission ids from observed messages minus settlements. A running tool or silent admitted prompt that has appeared in the conversation now stays streaming rather than looking idle until assistant text arrives. A submission admitted but not yet materialized into a message at reload time remains a documented residual window.

Channel: tagged-release. Half: defect. Date: 2026-09-23 (2.1.1 publication; code committed 2026-09-22).

Operator consequence: Upgrade React chat clients from 2.1.0 to at least 2.1.1 so a reload does not invite a duplicate send merely because a tool is silent. Treat status as aggregate conversation activity, and preserve submission receipts if your UI must cover the residual pre-message window. The current 2.3.0 pin includes the fix.
