What

Two changes to the send queue in a mirrored window's Rendered view:

1. Only pending messages are listed. Sent and cancelled messages leave the list at once, so there is no backlog to Delete by hand. A failed message stays until you Retry or Delete it, so a failure never disappears unseen. A failure that was already retried is hidden, because its retry row carries it. (This was the operator's choice: "Keep failed until handled".)
2. Tap a message to see all of it. The preview is cut at 200 bytes and clamped to two lines. It is now a button that opens a popover with the whole text and a Close.

How

• sendqueue.PGStore.List: the open rows (queued, sending), plus state = 'failed' AND retried_as IS NULL, newest first, capped at FailedShown. HistoryShown (5) is replaced by FailedShown, which equals MaxOpenPerTarget (20), so a whole queue that failed is shown in full. The Delete route is unchanged and still deletes any finished message.
• ui.sendQueuePreview: a popovertarget button (44px tall, aria-label "Show the whole message: …", Enter and Space work natively) and a top-layer popover (role=dialog) holding the body and a Close button. It works without script and causes no layout shift.
• The list's poll (menuOpen) now checks every [popover] in the list, not just the row menus and the waiting line. Before this, a poll redraw would have closed an open message.
• sendQueueListView now puts the whole Body on every listed row. Before, only queued rows had it. Failed rows get it too: they are the caller's own text under row-level security, and their preview is cut the same way.
• docs/sending-and-step-up.md is updated to match.

Tests

test	origin/main code	this branch
sendqueue TestListShowsOnlyWhatStillNeedsSomething (queued, sending, sent, cancelled, failed ×2, failed and retried, plus another owner's and another window's failures)	red	green
sendqueue TestListBoundsTheFailures	red (6 rows, want 21)	green
sendqueue TestRetryQueuesAFailedMessageAgainOnce (updated)	red	green
ui TestATapOnAPreviewOpensTheWholeMessage	red (no #mv-qf-41)	green
ui TestThePollDoesNotRedrawUnderAnOpenWholeMessage	red	green
api TestEveryListedRowCarriesItsWholeText	red (with only the API change reverted, the sending row has no popover)	green
api TestTheListDrawsDeleteOnAnUnhandledFailureOnly (PG)	red (handled row drawn)	green
e2e a tap on a long queued message shows the whole of it…	red (no opener)	green

For the red runs, origin/main's store.go / ui/send_queue.go / api/send_queue.go were checked out. A temporary shim declared the new constant names so the tests would compile. TestDeleteIsDrawnOnAFailedRowOnly (memQueue) checks that the fake matches the real store's filter and that the view maps rows correctly. It does not catch this regression on its own.

Mutation test: putting back the poll's old popover selector turns the e2e red, at still open after a poll.

Results:

• go test ./internal/sendqueue/ ./internal/api/ ./internal/ui/ with a database (MUSTER_TEST_REQUIRE_DB=1): 3344 PASS, 0 FAIL, 0 SKIP.
• go vet ./... is clean, and make css-check matches.
• e2e send-queue.spec.ts: 41/41 passed.
• e2e attention, composer-menu, cls, mirror-ask: 57/57 passed.

Round 0 (requirements & deletion): proceed to the checklist. Ledger: requirements 7 (unattributed 2: the failed-row cap of 20, and the whole-message popover widened to sending/failed rows) · deletion candidates 2 · no open premises.

D1 — queued rows now carry the whole message twice (the new popover and the Copy template); Copy could read the popover's text and the template could go
D2 — the Delete route still accepts sent/cancelled messages and Deletable is still "finished", though the list can no longer draw either; could narrow to failed (lean: keep, harmless for pages drawn before the deploy)

Round 1 (nine-axis checklist): 0 🔴, 2 🟡, 3 🟢. No 🔴, so the ladder ends; the 🟡s are fixed un-re-audited.

findings:
  - Y1 payload internal/sendqueue/store.go:423 + internal/api/send_queue.go:554 — routed/chief-nudge failures (no Retry, retried_as never set) persist until manual Delete
  - Y2 scaffolding internal/sendqueue/store_list_pg_test.go:96-111 — FailedShown value unpinned; mutant FailedShown=5 survives
  - G3 scaffolding internal/ui/send_queue_full_test.go:127-137 — spelled guard; menuOpen-never mutant survives (e2e covers it)
  - G4 payload docs/sending-and-step-up.md — "never disappears unseen" overstated vs the 7-day prune and the 20 cap
  - G5 payload internal/api/send_queue.go:398 — full body on every row, doubled on queued rows
stop: ladder ends (no red)
