Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?

README.md.Expected Behavior
Upon encountering an error, the user should be able to continue the existing chat session, ideally by retrying the last action, correcting input, or receiving guidance on how to proceed.
Actual Behavior
When an error occurs (e.g., an API error, malformed input, server issue), the chat becomes unresponsive or "stuck." The user cannot send new messages or interact further within that specific chat thread. To resume interaction, the user must initiate a completely new chat.
Steps to Reproduce
Add this function in the code (that will trigger the error)
Now start a chat and observe that the chat session becomes unresponsive.
Attempt to send a new message in the same chat.
Note that the message is not sent, or no further interaction is possible within that chat.

Intended behaviour here, the user should delete the message instead if they wanted to continue the chat.
