+# Impact analysis
+
+## Target
+
+Abort and ordinary follow-up submission flow across the Bridge registry, Tauri
+wrapper, workspace reducer, and conversation composer.
+
+## Dependents (6)
+
+- `src/bridge/service.js`: exposes registry routing through the local socket.
+- `ui/src-tauri/src/bridge.rs`: proxies submit/abort to the Bridge.
+- `ui/src-tauri/src/lib.rs`: exposes Tauri commands to the frontend.
+- `ui/src/App.tsx`: submits prompts and coordinates abort UI state.
+- `ui/src/workspace/reducer.ts`: tracks runtime activity, queues, and pending
+  submissions.
+- `ui/src/components/ConversationWorkspace.tsx`: renders composer actions and
+  pending submission labels.
+
+## Affected stories
+
+No release plan or epic capsules exist.
+
+## Test coverage
+
+- `test/agent-registry.test.js`: existing busy submission routes to Pi
+  `follow_up`.
+- `ui/src/workspace/reducer.test.ts`: existing optimistic-message
+  reconciliation.
+- `ui/src/components/components.test.tsx`: existing composer component wiring.
+- Gap: abort priority/feedback, returned delivery mode, duplicate follow-ups,
+  and authoritative queue counts are untested.
+
+## Risk: Medium
+
+This changes command scheduling and message acknowledgement at the Pi RPC
+boundary; an incorrect transition could lose or mislabel user follow-ups.
+
+## Recommended action
+
+Use one normal submit action with Bridge-selected delivery, make abort
+out-of-band and visibly pending, then add regression tests for queue and
+message reconciliation.
