steering/message previously rendered inside a <steering source="…">
envelope like context/message. No model is trained on a <steering> tag,
so the framing is arbitrary markup the model was never taught to read;
recorded transcripts show it treating the instruction as third-party
metadata and refusing it. Framing also does not belong on the session
surface — a caller that wants a frame formats its own content. It now
projects verbatim as a plain user-role message; the <context> envelope is
untouched and renderTagged becomes context-only.
