The Queued messages section of the composer guide said Enter always steers and Cmd/Ctrl+Enter always queues. With the default Follow-up behavior (Queue), that is reversed, so a user who follows it to queue a message steers the running turn instead.

This rewrites only the first paragraph of that section: the send button shows the configured Follow-up behavior, a click or the send shortcut uses it, and holding Cmd/Ctrl or the opposite-action shortcut uses the other action. It links to "Send while the agent is working" for the shortcut details instead of repeating them. The queue editing and resume guidance is unchanged. Mobile already has its own correct paragraph in that earlier section and is not changed.

Proof, traced against current main:

• packages/contracts/src/settings.ts:440-441: followUpBehavior defaults to queue.
• packages/client-runtime/src/state/composerDispatch.ts:13-15: the default action is the configured one; the alternate modifier picks the opposite.
• apps/web/src/components/chat/ChatComposer.tsx:3507-3517: a button click passes metaKey || ctrlKey as the alternate modifier with followUpBehavior.
• apps/web/src/components/chat/ChatComposer.tsx:3683-3692 and packages/shared/src/keybindings.ts:179: the send shortcut uses the default; mod+enter (composer.sendAlternate) uses the opposite.
• apps/web/src/components/chat/ComposerPrimaryActions.tsx:117-124,341: the button shows the queue icon or steer arrow from the same resolution.

Ran vp run check:changed (format passes). Docs only, so no test and no client run.

Explanation

Issue #19773 requires a documentation-only correction in docs/user/composer.md. The updated Queued messages paragraph states that the send button and send shortcut use the configured Follow-up behavior, and that Cmd/Ctrl or the opposite-action shortcut selects the alternate action. The diff leaves queue editing and resume guidance unchanged and does not change runtime defaults or keybindings.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The pull request changes only docs/user/composer.md and updates the requested Queued messages instructions. It adds the link to Send while the agent is working and does not include runtime, keybinding, or unrelated product changes.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description clearly explains the documentation problem, the focused change, linked issue, verification performed, limitations, and agent attribution. It does not use the template headings explicitly, but it provides the required information for this small documentation-only fix.
