Ten agentic chat UX failures (and the fix for each)

AstralBeam (Oct 15) catalogs ten failure modes when chat UIs become agent runtimes: opaque spinners, reconnects that wipe replies, retries that double-write, approval prompts without scope, Stop that doesn’t cancel tools, “Done” over partial failure, scroll jumps, drafts lost on send error, desktop results that break on phone, and updates never announced to AT. Each failure has an interactive better pattern (idempotent writes, bound approvals, cancel reachability, status from tool results). Learnable checklist before shipping an agent product UI.
