Subject: [PATCH] fix(coding-agent): flush queued messages after tree
 navigation (#3091)

Messages sent during branch summarization are added to the compaction
queue but never flushed when summarization ends. The user sees the
message in the steering queue and has to manually dequeue and resend it.

The fix is to flush the compaction queue after successful tree
navigation, matching the existing behavior of auto-compaction and
`/compact`. If the user jumps to a user message, the queued message is
sent as a prompt, and the jumped-to text is placed in the editor.
