Chat streams. You see the answer being written rather than a block of text after the turn ends, and you can stop it at any point.
A Chat thread while a reply is in flight — Cortex is responding

A turn in flight: the composer reads “Cortex is responding…” and the send button has become a stop control.

​
What streams, in order

​
Stop a response

Press Esc, or the stop control where the send button was. The partial reply stays in the thread. See Keyboard shortcuts.

​
When the connection drops

Run state lives in the thread, not in the transport. If your connection drops mid-reply, the product reconnects and the reply that already started continues. Do not resend the same message to recover it — you would start a second turn.

​
Queueing

Sending while a reply is still streaming is not the intended path in the web app; wait for the reply or stop it first. The CLI queues follow-ups explicitly — see The TUI.
