I looked into this on main at 13f89ae (code only, I didn't reproduce it at runtime).
The toast is a deliberate guard. A send while a pasted image is still compressing would leave that image out of the turn, and it would then show up in the next draft instead (
apps/web/src/components/chat/ChatComposer.tsx:2135-2146). So waiting is the right behavior, but the composer already has a pattern for waiting rather than refusing: a send during dictation is queued withsubmitAfterDictationand goes out once dictation finishes (ChatComposer.tsx:2126-2129). Doing the same for preparing images would give you the "wait, then send" you're asking for.Related: #28308 (open) adds the same compression check to stash, so the two paths would want to match.
