- Strict steer additionally requires an OPEN STEP: between steps the
loop may be awaiting its continuation/turn-stop checkpoints, where
pending steering was already folded and a terminal stop discards a
later arrival. A message accepted during an open step is drained and
recorded at that step's settlement before any terminal decision, so
the acknowledged-then-discarded window is closed. New keyless test
holds agent/turn-stop open and pins the rejection.
- tool-subagent-control README: distinguish synchronous not-delivered
errors from started-Task failures (unknown/foreign/descriptor-less
ids settle the started Task as failed), and drop the claim that the
completion notice carries the child's response.
