/**
 * THE WAKE PIPELINE (contracts.ts "THE ASYNC PROTOCOL" §4) — server-side
 * steer delivery for finished sub-agent jobs. Wave C (2026-09-26):
 * delivery rides pi's OWN follow-up queue when a run is live, and the
 * idle wake otherwise. One registry, two vehicles.
 *
 *   deliverJobResult(steer) — the runner calls this on job completion.
 *     The steer joins a per-chat serialized registry and the pump drives
 *     it along ONE of two paths:
 *
 *       1. LIVE RUN → pi steering: the marker is handed to the LIVE
 *          agent's steering queue (agent.steer). pi polls that queue at
 *          TURN BOUNDARIES — after a completed assistant message AND its
 *          tool results (never between a toolCall and its result), and
 *          again at the run's start (a continuation drains the queue
 *          BEFORE its first LLM call) — and CONTINUES THE SAME RUN: the
 *          marker joins the context mid-lesson, rides the live event
 *          stream (message_start/message_end), and lands in the record
 *          at that run's persist. This is the owner's 2026-09-26
 *          correction: a real lesson is one continuous teach→quiz→teach
 *          loop, so delivery must happen BETWEEN messages inside the
 *          run — waiting for the run to stop (follow-ups) only ever
 *          fires at a stopper exit, which is exactly when it must not.
 *          The question stopper runs BEFORE the post-turn poll and
 *          exits the loop, so a quiz-terminated run never injects: the
 *          handed marker strands (see settleSteers) and waits — the
 *          ANSWER run then picks it up at its start poll. probe-handoff
 *          markers NEVER take this path (owner ruling: the handoff must
 *          start the TEACHER's run — a record-level branch only a fresh
 *          wake can make).
 *       2. IDLE WAKE: no live turn. WAIT FOR IDLE (turn-liveness OR a
 *          dangling question — an unanswered client-side tool call breaks
 *          provider conversion), then fire ONE server-side wake turn
 *          carrying EVERY queued marker as its input appends (write-ahead
 *          persist, liveness, extraction — one code path, the same
 *          composition as a client request). A 409 means a client turn
 *          raced in — re-queue and retry with backoff. Idempotent per
 *          jobId (steerDelivered): a crashed wake or a duplicate deliver
 *          is skipped, not duplicated.
 *
 *   settleSteers(chatId, persisted) — the handler calls this at turn
 *     settlement (after unregisterLiveAgent): entries the run DELIVERED
 *     resolve + flip their jobs; entries that were handed to the dying
 *     run but never injected (stopper exit, abort, a missed final poll)
 *     return to pending and the pump restarts — no stranding, no loss.
 *
 *   Crash recovery (recoverStaleJobs): a process restart can orphan jobs —
 *     "running" with a result (the wake never fired) or without one (the
 *     sub-agent loop itself died). The sweep re-delivers finished results
 *     (idempotently) and re-spawns unfinished loops, both via injected
 *     seams. It runs lazily off the /api/jobs poll, throttled.
 *
 * All mutable state lives on globalThis (the turn-liveness lesson: Next dev
 * gives each route entry its own module instances — a module-level Map would
 * be a different object in each).

 *      turn is ALREADY in flight (the pump shifted the entry), it's too
 *      late — the result steer lands, and the cancellation steer dedupes
 *      against it via steerDelivered (same jobId metadata).
 *   3. FLIP the record to error "Aborted by learner" immediately — the
 *      poll reflects the user's action at once (the user chose
 *      error-with-reason over a distinct cancelled status). finalizeJob
 *      never overwrites a non-running status, so the flip is terminal no
 *      matter what the wake does.
 *   4. STEER the teacher: a one-line abort note (buildAbortSteer) through
 *      the same wake pipeline, so the teacher's promise of a result
 *      doesn't hang silently in the lesson.
 *
 * The runner writes the usage folded so far in its finally (merge patch),
 * so an aborted job's money record survives the kill.
