The UI froze for ~1s when sending messages in SSH workspaces because the frontend awaited the entire IPC call, including remote temp directory creation. Changed ChatInput to clear input/images immediately before the IPC call instead of after it succeeds. This makes the UI responsive while the backend handles SSH operations asynchronously. On error, the previous state is restored so users can retry. _Generated with `cmux`_
