+Goal: # Plan: end-to-end steering for running agents
+
+## Context
+
+`README.md` advertises "Steer running agents mid-turn." Today the agent core fully supports it (`Session::steer`, `drain_steering`, `Turn::Steering` → user message, `agent.steering.injected` event, parity tests). Everything north of that is missing or stubbed:
+
+- `POST /runs/{id}/steer` is registered as `not_implemented` (501).
+- Endpoint is not in the OpenAPI spec.
+- No CLI command, no web UI wiring (only a placeholder demo-mode-gated "Steer" button on the running-runs board with no handler).
+- No bridge from the server's HTTP layer through the worker subprocess into the live `Session`.
+
+Two flavors are required:
+
+- **Append** — push to the steering queue; agent picks it up at the next turn boundary (existing `Session::steer`).
+- **Interrupt** — cancel in-flight LLM stream and tool calls in the current round, then deliver as the next user turn. New code in `Session`.
+
+Steers can arrive when no agent stage is active, or when only non-agent stages are active — these **buffer** for the next API-mode session. Steers that arrive when only CLI-mode agent stages are active are **rejected** (no steerable target). Mixed runs with at least one API-mode agent active are accepted and broadcast.
+
+## Decisions
+
+- Scope: full stack — wire protocol, agent, worker, server, OpenAPI, CLI, web UI.
+- Parallel stages (`max_parallel = 4`): broadcast to every active API-mode `Session` in the run.
+- Status policy: accept only when run status is `running`. Reject `blocked` with a hint to use the interview-answer endpoint. Reject terminal states with 409.
+- **CLI-mode steerability predicate (target-oriented, best-effort).** Server's view derives from asynchronously consumed events, so the 409 below is best-effort. Stale state can lead to a forwarded steer that the worker hub then buffers (`agent.steer.buffered`) or drops at run end (`agent.steer.dropped { reason: "run_ended" }`). UI surfaces both via SSE.
+   1. ≥1 API-mode agent stage active → forward (broadcast).
+   2. No active agent stages at all (between stages, non-agent stage, idle) → forward (worker buffers for next session).
+   3. Active agent stages exist but none are API-mode → **best-effort 409**.
+- Web UI shows the Steer button whenever `status === "running"`; rejection reason flows through the 409 response and is surfaced inline.
+- Every steer carries an `actor: Principal` end-to-end (HTTP → envelope → worker → agent). Per `docs/internal/events-strategy.md:83`, `actor` lives only at top-level `RunEvent.actor`; **not** in event-specific props.
+- Both transport variants must work: `RunAnswerTransport::Subprocess` (worker control JSONL) and `RunAnswerTransport::InProcess` (direct call into the in-process hub).
+- **Round-token cancellation is the sole marker for steering interrupts.** No new `InterruptReason::SteerInterrupt` variant. The loop distinguishes terminal cancel from steer-interrupt by which token fired (`cancel_token` vs `round_token`). Existing `interrupt_reason` (used for `WallClockTimeout` / `Cancelled`) is unchanged.
+- **Bounded queues.** Per-session steering queue cap = 32 messages; per-run pending buffer cap = 32 messages. Overflow evicts oldest (FIFO) and emits `agent.steer.dropped { count, reason }`. Sizes are workspace constants in `fabro-workflow`.
+- **Buffered-steer fanout semantics:** buffered steers go to the **first** session that registers after an empty-active period. Sister parallel sessions registering at almost the same time do not replay the buffer. Documented limitation; per-stage targeting (deferred) is the natural future fix.
+
+## Message flow
+
+```
+HTTP POST /runs/{id}/steer  { text, interrupt }   (auth → actor: Principal)
+  → fabro-server handler
+     ├─ validates status + steerability predicate from active_api_stages /
+     │   active_cli_stages tracked from worker-emitted events
+     ├─ Subprocess: WorkerControlEnvelope::steer(text, kind, actor) → control_tx
+     │   → pump_worker_control_jsonl → worker stdin → apply_worker_control_line
+     │   → SteeringHub.deliver(text, kind, actor)
+     └─ InProcess: directly call SteeringHub.deliver(text, kind, actor) on the
+                   hub stored alongside the in-process interviewer
+  → SteeringHub.deliver:
+     ├─ active API handles → broadcast: handle.queue.push((text, kind, actor))
+     │       + if Interrupt: handle.round_token.cancel()
+     └─ none → push to pending Vec<PendingSteer>
+  → Session round loop: top-of-loop drain_steering() emits
+     AgentEvent::SteeringInjected { text, kind } with actor flowing through
+     internal event metadata; agent_actor_for_event lifts it to RunEvent.actor.
+```
+
+## Implementation
+
+### 1. Wire protocol — extend `WorkerControlEnvelope`
+
+**Files:** `lib/crates/fabro-types/src/lib.rs` (or new `steering.rs`), `lib/crates/fabro-interview/src/control_protocol.rs`
+
+Define `SteerKind` in `fabro-types` (not `fabro-interview` — `fabro-interview` already depends on `fabro-types` per `control_protocol.rs:1`, so the canonical enum must live in the lower crate to avoid a cycle):
+
+```rust
+// fabro-types
+#[derive(Debug, Clone, Copy, PartialEq, Eq, Serialize, Deserialize)]
+#[serde(rename_all = "lowercase")]
+pub enum SteerKind { Append, Interrupt }
+```
+
+`fabro-interview` re-exports it and adds the envelope variant:
+
+```rust
+// fabro-interview/src/control_protocol.rs
+pub use fabro_types::SteerKind;
+
+#[serde(rename = "run.steer")]
+Steer {
+    text:  String,
+    kind:  SteerKind,
+    actor: Principal,    // matches interview.answer
+},
+```
+
+Add `WorkerControlEnvelope::steer(text, kind, actor)`. Round-trip serde tests for both kinds + actor next to existing tests at line 104+.
+
+### 2. Agent — `interrupt_with` + round-level cancel + control handle
+
+**Files:** `lib/crates/fabro-agent/src/session.rs`, `lib/crates/fabro-agent/src/types.rs`, `lib/crates/fabro-agent/src/error.rs`, `lib/crates/fabro-agent/src/tool_execution.rs`, `lib/crates/fabro-agent/tests/it/parity_matrix.rs`
+
+Changes to `Session`:
+
+- New field `round_token: Arc<RwLock<CancellationToken>>` — replaceable per round.
+- Change `steering_queue` element type from `String` to `(String, SteerKind, Option<Principal>)` so per-message kind+actor survive into the emitted event.
+- New method `interrupt_with(&self, text: String, actor: Option<Principal>)`: push `(text, Interrupt, actor)` and cancel `round_token`. **Does not** touch `interrupt_reason` — round-token cancellation alone marks the steer-interrupt path.
+- Existing `steer(text)` updated to push `(text, Append, None)`.
+- No new `InterruptReason` variant. Existing `WallClockTimeout` / `Cancelled` semantics are unchanged. The loop disambiguates by inspecting tokens:
+   - `cancel_token.is_cancelled()` → terminal close (existing behavior).
+   - `round_token.is_cancelled() && !cancel_token.is_cancelled()` → steer interrupt → continue.
+- New method `control_handle(&self) -> SessionControlHandle` returning `Arc` clones of `steering_queue` and `round_token`. The hub stores the *handle*, not the `Session`. This avoids the ownership mismatch with `AgentApiBackend` (Session is owned by value and mutated via `process_input(&mut self)` in `handler/llm/api.rs:444-494`).
+- `SessionControlHandle::steer(text, actor)` and `interrupt_with(text, actor)` thin wrappers — the hub calls these.
+- Existing `AgentEvent::SteeringInjected` props gain `kind: SteerKind` only. Actor flows through internal event metadata (set on the emitted event), then `agent_actor_for_event` lifts it to top-level `RunEvent.actor` per the events strategy.
+
+**Loop changes in `process_input` (lines 603–941):**
+
+- **Move `drain_steering()` to the top of the loop body**, before `compact_if_needed`/`build_request`. Today: line 694 (before loop, once) and line 924 (after tools). After a SteerInterrupt `continue`, neither runs before the next request. Top-of-loop drain fixes this. Remove the line-694 pre-loop call (top-of-loop covers it on iter 1) and the line-924 post-tool call (next iter's top-of-loop covers it).
+- At top of each iteration: if `round_token` is cancelled, replace with a fresh `CancellationToken`. (No `interrupt_reason` to clear — round-token cancellation is the marker.)
+- Build per-round composite token from `cancel_token` (terminal) and `round_token` (per-round).
+- **Cancellation propagation — two distinct strategies:**
+   - **LLM stream awaits** (preemptive — safe to drop in-flight): wrap with `tokio::select!` against `composite.cancelled()` at:
+      - `open_stream_with_retry(...)` and any internal retry-backoff `tokio::time::sleep`
+      - `event_stream.next()` per chunk (so an idle stream that never produces another chunk doesn't pin the loop)
+   - **Tool execution** (cooperative — must NOT drop the future): pass the composite token as a parameter to `execute_tool_calls`. It runs to completion, returning "Cancelled" entries internally for any in-flight tool (existing path: `tool_execution.rs:80`). Do **not** wrap in `select!` — dropping the future would lose synthesized cancel results and break the `tool_use`↔`tool_result` invariant.
+- After LLM stream and after tools, branch on whether the round was interrupted:
+   - **Mid-LLM interrupt** (`record_assistant_turn` at line 859 has not run yet): drop the unrecorded turn. **Also clear visible UI output**: if any `TextDelta` or `ReasoningDelta` was emitted in the dropped round, emit `AgentEvent::AssistantOutputReplace { text: "", reasoning: None }` before `continue` (mirrors the existing retry-clears-output pattern at session.rs:828). No tool_results needed because no `tool_use` was committed to history.
+   - **Mid-tool interrupt** (assistant turn with `tool_use` blocks already recorded at line 859 before `execute_tool_calls` ran): `execute_tool_calls` runs to completion and returns **one `ToolResult` per `tool_use` block**. Content varies by tool — bash returns `Ok("Command cancelled.\n…")` (tools.rs:265-266), other tools may return partial output, an error message, or a synthetic Cancelled marker. The Anthropic invariant only requires one-per-block, not a specific content shape. Always push `Turn::ToolResults` with whatever `execute_tool_calls` returned (existing line 909-921 path), then branch on which token fired. Refactor the current `cancel_token.is_cancelled()` branch (lines 907-915) to: append tool_results unconditionally → close+return-Err (if `cancel_token` fired) or `continue` (if only `round_token` fired).
+- **Append-during-final-response fix (race-safe, dependency-safe).** Today line 881-883 unconditionally `break` when `tool_calls.is_empty()`. A naive `if steering_queue.is_empty() { break }` still loses steers that arrive between the empty check and the function return because the hub still considers the session active. The full close-the-door dance (unregister → check → re-register-or-break) crosses a crate boundary the wrong way (`fabro-agent` does not depend on `fabro-workflow`; reverse cycles per `Cargo.toml:22`). Solution: small trait owned by fabro-agent, implemented in fabro-workflow.
+
+   ```rust
+   // fabro-agent
+   pub trait CompletionCoordinator: Send + Sync {
+       /// Called at natural completion (tool_calls empty).
+       /// Return true to continue the loop (queue is non-empty),
+       /// false to break. Implementor coordinates with whatever
+       /// owns the steering source.
+       fn on_natural_completion(&self) -> bool;
+   }
+   ```
+
+   `Session` gains `completion_coordinator: Option<Arc<dyn CompletionCoordinator>>`, defaulting to `None` (preserves existing behavior — direct `Session::new` callers and tests just break naturally).
+
+   Loop:
+
+   ```rust
+   if tool_calls.is_empty() {
+       let should_continue = self.completion_coordinator
+           .as_ref()
+           .is_some_and(|c| c.on_natural_completion());
+       if should_continue { continue; }
+       break;
+   }
+   ```
+
+   In fabro-workflow, an adapter implementing the trait holds `(Arc<SteeringHub>, StageId, SessionControlHandle)` and does:
+
+   ```rust
+   fn on_natural_completion(&self) -> bool {
+       self.hub.unregister(self.stage_id.clone());     // serializes vs hub.deliver
+       if self.handle.queue_is_empty() { return false; }
+       self.hub.register(self.stage_id.clone(), self.handle.clone());
+       true   // session's next iteration drains
+   }
+   ```
+
+   `AgentApiBackend::run` builds the adapter, sets it on the session before `process_input`, and removes it after.
+
+   **Hub locking discipline (race safety):** `SteeringHub::deliver` holds the `active` *read* lock for the entire push (clone handle + push to queue happen under the read lock). `unregister` takes the *write* lock. RwLock semantics serialize them — once `unregister` returns, no in-flight push can be racing. The post-unregister queue check sees a stable result.
+- `cancel_token.is_cancelled()` (terminal) still returns `Err(interrupted_error())` and closes — unchanged.
+
+Tests in `parity_matrix.rs`:
+
+- `steering_interrupt_mid_llm_idle_stream` — fire `interrupt_with` while the LLM stream is open but producing no chunks. Assert interrupt takes effect within ~1s (proves `tokio::select!` is wired around `next()`).
+- `steering_interrupt_mid_llm_streaming` — fire mid-stream after at least one `TextDelta` has been emitted; assert (a) `AssistantOutputReplace { text: "", reasoning: None }` is emitted before the next round (clears stale partial output in the UI), (b) next turn includes the steer text, (c) event has `kind: "interrupt"`.
+- `steering_interrupt_mid_tool` — fire while a Bash tool is running; assert (a) `Turn::ToolResults` immediately follows the assistant tool-use turn (one ToolResult per tool_use, content unspecified — could be partial output, "Command cancelled", or an error message), then (b) `Turn::Steering` with the new text. No dangling `tool_use`. Test asserts shape, not content.
+- `steering_no_dangling_tool_use_invariant` — assert that no `Turn::Steering` immediately follows a `Turn::Assistant` containing `tool_use` blocks without an intervening `Turn::ToolResults`. Asserts shape (one ToolResult per tool_use), not content. Guards against `select!`-around-tools regressions.
+- `steering_append_kind_field` — fire `steer()` between rounds; assert event carries `kind: "append"`.
+- `append_during_final_response_triggers_extra_round` — fire `steer()` while LLM is producing a final no-tool response. Assert agent does NOT exit `process_input` after `tool_calls.is_empty()`; instead runs another model turn that incorporates the steer. (Test uses a stub `CompletionCoordinator` impl that returns `true` once when the queue is non-empty — keeps the agent test free of workflow/hub dependencies.)
+
+Queue overflow tests live at the **`SteeringHub` layer in fabro-workflow**, not here. Direct `Session::steer` callers intentionally bypass the cap, so the agent has nothing to test for overflow.
+
+### 3. Worker — `SteeringHub` + control plumbing
+
+**Files:** `lib/crates/fabro-cli/src/commands/run/runner.rs`, `lib/crates/fabro-workflow/src/services.rs`, `lib/crates/fabro-workflow/src/operations/start.rs`, `lib/crates/fabro-workflow/src/handler/llm/api.rs`
+
+New type (in `fabro-workflow`, alongside `RunServices`):
+
+```rust
+// All locks below are std::sync — methods are sync and never await while holding them.
+pub struct SteeringHub {
+    active:  std::sync::RwLock<HashMap<StageId, SessionControlHandle>>,
+    pending: std::sync::Mutex<VecDeque<PendingSteer>>,    // bounded, FIFO
+    emitter: Arc<Emitter>,
+}
+
+struct PendingSteer { text: String, kind: SteerKind, actor: Option<Principal> }
+
+const PER_SESSION_QUEUE_CAP: usize = 32;
+const PER_RUN_PENDING_CAP:   usize = 32;
+
+impl SteeringHub {
+    pub fn deliver(&self, text: String, kind: SteerKind, actor: Option<Principal>);
+    pub fn register(&self, stage_id: StageId, handle: SessionControlHandle);
+    pub fn unregister(&self, stage_id: StageId);
+    pub fn drain_pending_at_run_end(&self);    // emits agent.steer.dropped { reason: "run_ended" } if any
+}
+```
+
+- `register` decides drain-vs-replace based on **current active-map state**, not history:
+   - If `stage_id` is **not already in active** → insert + drain pending into this handle as `Append` + emit `agent.steering.attached`. Covers first-register-after-empty AND close-the-door re-register (which closes the gap where steers can buffer between unregister and re-register).
+   - If `stage_id` **is already in active** → replace the handle, do **not** drain pending, do **not** re-emit `attached`. Covers failover (handle replaced under the same id without an intervening unregister).
+- `unregister` is **idempotent**: `agent.steering.detached` fires only when `active.remove(stage_id)` returns `Some`. The close-the-door call removes-and-emits once; the RAII guard at function exit becomes a no-op (entry already gone). Prevents double-emit on natural completion.
+- `deliver` broadcasts to active handles **or** pushes to pending — branched **under the active read lock** so the empty/non-empty decision is atomic with the push. Documented lock order: **active first, then queue or pending; never reverse.** All locks are `std::sync::{RwLock, Mutex}`; **no `.await` while holding any of them.** Sync methods make `CompletionCoordinator::on_natural_completion` callable from the agent loop without converting it to async (tokio locks would force `.await`). This makes the close-the-door pattern race-safe end-to-end.
+- Internal helper `enqueue_into_session_queue(handle, item)` is used by both the broadcast path and the pending-flush path (called from `register`), guaranteeing identical cap enforcement and drop-event emission across both code paths.
+- Sister parallel sessions registering immediately after the first don't replay the buffer (it was drained on the first register) — documented limitation; broadcast-to-future-sessions is deferred with the per-stage targeting feature.
+- **Queue bounds enforced at the hub layer.** Before pushing into a session's `steering_queue` via `SessionControlHandle`, the hub checks `len() >= PER_SESSION_QUEUE_CAP` and evicts the front. Before pushing into `pending`, checks against `PER_RUN_PENDING_CAP`. On eviction, emits `agent.steer.dropped { count: 1, reason: "queue_full" }`. **Direct callers of `Session::steer` (loop-detection auto-injection at session.rs:931, tests) bypass the cap** — that's intentional; internal one-shot warnings shouldn't trigger user-facing drop events.
+
+**Plumbing (explicit, not "via the same path"):**
+
+In `runner.rs::execute()` (around lines 88–101): construct `let steering_hub = Arc::new(SteeringHub::new(emitter.clone()));` next to `interviewer` and `cancel_token`. Pass it both into:
+
+1. `spawn_worker_control_stream(interviewer, cancel_token, steering_hub.clone())` — extend the function signature to accept the hub.
+2. `StartServices.steering_hub: Arc<SteeringHub>` — new required field. Threaded through `operations::start` → `RunServices` → `EngineServices` → handler dispatch.
+
+In `runner.rs::apply_worker_control_line` (lines 226–250): add a match arm:
+
+```rust
+WorkerControlMessage::Steer { text, kind, actor } => {
+    steering_hub.deliver(text, kind, Some(actor));
+}
+```
+
+In `AgentApiBackend::run()` (`handler/llm/api.rs:444-494`):
+
+- Compute `let stage_id = stage_scope.stage_id();` from the existing `stage_scope` at line 476 (`StageScope::stage_id()` returns `StageId::new(node_id, visit)` per `stage_scope.rs:64-65`). Use this `StageId` everywhere — **not** the bare `node.id` string.
+- After the `Session` is built/cached but before `process_input`, call `services.steering_hub.register(stage_id.clone(), session.control_handle())`.
+- Use a `scopeguard`-style RAII guard so `unregister(stage_id.clone())` runs on success, error, and panic.
+- **Failover (lines 527-572):** inside the failover loop, immediately after `session = new_session;` (line 545) and before `session.initialize().await` (line 556), call `services.steering_hub.register(stage_id.clone(), session.control_handle())` again. The hub overwrites the abandoned handle with the new one. The RAII unregister still works because the same `stage_id` is keyed.
+- The hub never holds the `Session` — only the `Arc`-clones in `SessionControlHandle`. Sidesteps the ownership mismatch.
+
+`AgentCliBackend::run()` is **not** modified — it never registers, so the hub's `active` set never includes CLI stages. The server's steerability predicate uses the `agent.steering.attached/detached` and `agent.cli.started/completed` events to know what's active.
+
+**Run-end drain placement (async cleanup pattern).** Inside `operations::start` (`lib/crates/fabro-workflow/src/operations/start.rs`), wrap the pipeline execution into a result-returning block, then drain pending and flush events explicitly **before** propagating:
+
+```rust
+let result = run_pipeline(...).await;            // success or error
+steering_hub.drain_pending_at_run_end();         // sync emit of agent.steer.dropped
+store_progress_logger.flush().await;             // awaited flush moves them through the sink
+result?
+```
+
+A `scopeguard` calling `drain_pending_at_run_end()` is **only** a last-ditch panic fallback — it cannot await the flush, so it's not the primary delivery path. The explicit pattern handles both success and error cleanly. Calling drain from the worker's outer wrap-up (after `operations::start` returns) would lose events because `store_progress_logger.flush().await` at line 818 already ran.
+
+### 4. Server — HTTP handler + OpenAPI + per-stage tracking + InProcess support
+
+**Files:** `docs/public/api-reference/fabro-api.yaml`, `lib/crates/fabro-server/src/server/handler/mod.rs`, `lib/crates/fabro-server/src/server.rs` (or new `handler/steer.rs`), `lib/crates/fabro-server/src/server/tests.rs`
+
+OpenAPI: `POST /runs/{id}/steer` with body `SteerRequest { text: string (required, 1..8192), interrupt: boolean (default false) }`. Responses: `202 Accepted`, `400`, `404`, `409`, `503`. Tag: `Human-in-the-Loop`. Authenticated user becomes `Principal` for the envelope.
+
+Handler (mirror cancel at `handler/lifecycle.rs:162`):
+
+1. Look up `ManagedRun` via `AppState.runs`.
+2. Validate, in order:
+   - 404 if missing.
+   - 409 if status is `blocked` with `code: "use_answer_endpoint"`, hint: `POST /runs/{id}/questions/{qid}/answer`.
+   - 409 if terminal (`succeeded`/`failed`/`cancelled`/`archived`).
+   - 409 if not `running`.
+   - 409 if **target-oriented predicate** rejects: `active_api_stages.is_empty() && !active_cli_stages.is_empty()` with `code: "cli_agent_not_steerable"`, message: "All currently running agent stages are CLI-mode and cannot be steered."
+   - Otherwise: forward.
+3. **Transport branch on `ManagedRun.answer_transport`:**
+   - `Subprocess { control_tx }`: send `WorkerControlEnvelope::steer(text, kind, actor)` with the existing 1s timeout pattern. Map `Timeout`/`Closed` to 503.
+   - `InProcess { interviewer, steering_hub }`: directly call `steering_hub.deliver(text, kind, Some(actor))`. No envelope, no JSONL hop, no timeout — same hub the in-process worker would use. Requires storing an `Arc<SteeringHub>` alongside `interviewer` in `RunAnswerTransport::InProcess` (`server.rs:245`). The in-process spawn site `execute_run_in_process` (line 2541) creates and stores both.
+4. Return 202.
+
+**Tracking active-stage modes (server side):** `ManagedRun` gains:
+
+```rust
+active_api_stages: HashSet<StageId>,   // primary: agent.steering.attached/detached
+active_cli_stages: HashSet<StageId>,   // primary: agent.cli.started; backstops below
+```
+
+Plain `HashSet` (no inner lock) — `ManagedRun` is already accessed under `state.runs.lock()` (`server.rs:441` AppState definition; mutation pattern at `server.rs:1724, 1735` for the existing `accepted_questions: HashSet<String>` field at `server.rs:196`). Adding inner `Mutex<HashSet>` would be redundant nested locking.
+
+Updated by the server's existing event-consumption path. **No reuse of `agent.session.started/ended`** — those events do not reliably fire per stage invocation: `Session::initialize()` (and thus `SessionStarted`) is skipped for reused sessions in `api.rs:490`, and `SessionEnded` only fires on explicit `close()`. The hub-emitted `attached/detached` events fire deterministically per `register/unregister` call inside `AgentApiBackend::run`, which is exactly the steerable window.
+
+**Backstops to prevent leaks** (CLI tracking is fragile because `AgentCliStarted` at cli.rs:511 and `AgentCliCompleted` at cli.rs:648 are 137 lines apart with fallible operations between, and the existing CLI cancel bug means many error paths skip the completion emit):
+
+- On `stage.completed` **and** `stage.failed` (any kind): remove the stage_id (read from top-level `RunEvent.stage_id`) from **both** `active_api_stages` and `active_cli_stages`. Both events fire from the workflow lifecycle (`lifecycle/event.rs:153, 220, 271`); covering only `stage.completed` would leak on the failure path — exactly where the existing CLI cancel bug already strands stages.
+- On terminal run events (`run.completed` / `run.failed`): clear both sets entirely. (Cancellation is folded into `run.failed` via its `reason` field — there is no separate `run.cancelled` event in `lib/crates/fabro-types/src/run_event/mod.rs:87-90`.)
+
+Implementation note for a follow-up PR (out of scope here, in the same area as the existing CLI-cancel debt): wrap the CLI backend's `AgentCliCompleted` emission in a scopeguard so it always fires regardless of error path.
+
+**CLI-only rejection is best-effort.** Server consumes events asynchronously through the run-store subscription path (`server.rs:2023`), so its view of `active_api_stages` / `active_cli_stages` lags actual worker state by a small window. A steer that the server forwards based on a stale view will be handled correctly by the worker hub: if no API session is registered by arrival, the steer buffers and emits `agent.steer.buffered`, which the UI surfaces. The 409-on-all-CLI gate is an optimization for the synchronous user-feedback case; the worker-side hub is the authoritative safety net. Authoritative server-side rejection (round-tripping a confirmation back through the worker control plane) is out of scope.
+
+**After OpenAPI changes, regenerate clients (per `CLAUDE.md` API workflow):**
+
+```bash
+cargo build -p fabro-api                                # regenerates Rust client via build.rs + progenitor
+cd lib/packages/fabro-api-client && bun run generate    # regenerates TypeScript Axios client
+```
+
+Both must run before `bun run typecheck` in `apps/fabro-web` will pass.
+
+### 5. CLI — `fabro steer`
+
+**Files:** `lib/crates/fabro-cli/src/args.rs`, new `lib/crates/fabro-cli/src/commands/steer.rs`, `lib/crates/fabro-cli/src/commands/mod.rs`, `lib/crates/fabro-cli/src/server_client.rs`, `lib/crates/fabro-cli/src/main.rs`
+
+Add a new top-level `Commands::Steer(SteerArgs)` (sibling to `Commands::RunCmd`, `Commands::Exec`, etc. in `args.rs:1016`). New top-level command from scratch — no existing `fabro cancel` to mirror (cancel today is Ctrl+C in attached or HTTP-direct).
+
+```
+fabro steer <run-id> <text> [--interrupt]
+fabro steer <run-id> --text-stdin [--interrupt]   # editors / pipes
+```
+
+Implementation calls a new `server_client.steer_run(run_id, text, kind)` via the regenerated typed API client. Error mapping mirrors the cancel HTTP path.
+
+### 6. Web UI
+
+**Files:** `apps/fabro-web/app/components/steer-composer.tsx` (new), `apps/fabro-web/app/components/steer-composer.test.tsx` (new), `apps/fabro-web/app/lib/mutations.ts`, `apps/fabro-web/app/lib/run-events.ts`, `apps/fabro-web/app/hooks/use-run-toasts.ts` (new), `apps/fabro-web/app/routes/runs.tsx`, `apps/fabro-web/app/routes/run-detail.tsx`
+
+**Composer:** new `SteerComposer` component — modal/popover with textarea, primary "Send" button, secondary "Interrupt" button, same Enter / Shift+Enter affordance as `interview-dock.tsx`. Reuse `ErrorMessage` from `ui.tsx`.
+
+**Mutation:** `useSteerRun(runId)` in `lib/mutations.ts` mirroring `useSubmitInterviewAnswer` (lines 97–117). On 409 with `code: "cli_agent_not_steerable"`, surface inline ("All running agent stages are CLI-mode and can't be steered."). Invalidates run detail on success.
+
+**Surfacing:** wire the existing "Steer" button in `routes/runs.tsx:42, 365–369`:
+- Remove the demo-mode gate at lines 437–439.
+- Open `SteerComposer` on click.
+
+Add a "Steer" button to `run-detail.tsx` page header (only when `statusKind === "running"`), opening the same composer.
+
+**Toast dispatch:** `lib/run-events.ts` only resolves SWR-invalidation keys (line 44) — does not dispatch toasts. Add `useRunToasts(runId)` hook in `app/hooks/use-run-toasts.ts` that subscribes to the same SSE stream (via existing `subscribeToSharedEventSource`) and calls `useToast().push(...)` for steer-related events, deduping by event id. Mount from `run-detail.tsx` next to `useRunEvents`. SSE invalidation in `run-events.ts` still gets the new event names so SWR refetches; toast is the new hook's job.
+
+Toast copy:
+- `agent.steering.injected` with `kind: "append"` → "Steer delivered."
+- `agent.steering.injected` with `kind: "interrupt"` → "Agent interrupted — your message is the next turn."
+- `agent.steer.buffered` → "Steer queued — will apply when an agent stage runs."
+- `agent.steer.dropped` with `reason: "queue_full"` → "Steer rate limit reached; oldest queued steer dropped."
+- `agent.steer.dropped` with `reason: "run_ended"` → "Run ended before queued steer(s) could apply."
+
+Note: keep `InterviewDock` semantics untouched — `blocked` runs only. Steer composer handles `running` only. Mutually exclusive surfaces.
+
+## Events
+
+- `agent.steering.injected` — **modified**. `AgentSteeringInjectedProps` (in `lib/crates/fabro-types/src/run_event/agent.rs`) gains `kind: "append" | "interrupt"`. Actor lives at top-level `RunEvent.actor` only — set via `agent_actor_for_event` from the `actor` carried internally on the `AgentEvent::SteeringInjected` variant. Per `docs/internal/events-strategy.md:83`.
+- `agent.steering.attached` / `agent.steering.detached` — **new**. Emitted by `SteeringHub::register` (only when newly inserted, not on replace) / `unregister` (only when active.remove returned Some). Workflow `Event` variants carry `StageId` internally; `stored_event_fields_for_variant` lifts to top-level `RunEvent.stage_id` (mod.rs:36) so generic event consumers see it where they expect. **Props are empty** — no duplicate `stage_id` in props. Distinct names from existing `agent.session.started/ended` to avoid confusion.
+- `agent.steer.buffered` — **new**. Emitted by the worker hub when a steer arrives with no active session and is parked. Carries `{ kind }` in props (no actor in props — top-level only).
+- `agent.steer.dropped` — **new**. Two shapes:
+   - `reason: "queue_full"`, `count: 1` — single-item drop with a known dropped steer. Carries the dropped item's `actor` internally; `stored_event_fields_for_variant` lifts it to top-level `RunEvent.actor`.
+   - `reason: "run_ended"`, `count: N` — aggregate; possibly multiple actors. **No user actor** at top level (system actor); aggregation loss documented.
+
+For each new event: typed props in `lib/crates/fabro-types/src/run_event/agent.rs`, variant on `EventBody` in `mod.rs`, workflow conversion in `fabro-workflow/src/event/convert.rs`, name in `fabro-workflow/src/event/names.rs`.
+
+**Actor lifting (different paths for different emitters):**
+- `agent.steering.injected` is agent-emitted (`AgentEvent::SteeringInjected`). Carry `actor` on the internal variant; lift via `agent_actor_for_event` (`stored_fields.rs:198`).
+- `agent.steer.buffered` is workflow-hub-emitted (`SteeringHub::deliver`, no agent involvement). Add `actor: Option<Principal>` to its workflow `Event` variant; lift via `stored_event_fields_for_variant` (`stored_fields.rs:57`).
+- `agent.steer.dropped` with `reason: "queue_full"`: carry dropped item's `actor` on the workflow `Event` variant; lift via `stored_event_fields_for_variant`.
+- `agent.steer.dropped` with `reason: "run_ended"`: system actor, no user actor lifted.
+- `agent.steering.attached/detached`: lifecycle, no user actor.
+
+## Test strategy
+
+- **Unit** — control-protocol round-trip including actor (`fabro-interview`); `SteerKind` round-trip in `fabro-types`; `SteeringHub` buffer + broadcast + register-drains-or-replaces by active-map state + idempotent unregister + `drain_pending_at_run_end` + **per-session queue overflow drops oldest** + **per-run pending overflow drops oldest** (both at the hub layer, asserting `agent.steer.dropped { reason: "queue_full" }` carries the correct actor at top level); server's steerability predicate over mixed `(active_api_stages, active_cli_stages)` sets.
+- **Agent integration** — `parity_matrix.rs` scenarios listed above (idle-stream interrupt, mid-streaming interrupt with stale-output clear, mid-tool interrupt with shape-only assertion, no-dangling-tool-use invariant, append kind field, append-during-final-response triggers extra round). Idle-stream guards against `tokio::select!` regression on stream awaits; no-dangling guards against `select!`-around-tools regression. **Queue overflow is exclusively a hub-layer test** — direct `Session::steer` callers intentionally bypass the cap.
+- **Workflow event conversion** — new test that builds an `AgentEvent::SteeringInjected { actor, kind, text }`, runs it through the conversion machinery, and asserts the resulting `RunEvent` has `kind` in props (no `actor` in props) and the user actor at top-level `RunEvent.actor`. Without this test, a future refactor of `agent_actor_for_event` (`stored_fields.rs:198`) could silently regress steering to `None` — it currently falls through for all variants except `AssistantMessage`/`ToolCall*`.
+- **Server** — handler unit tests for the full status + steerability matrix (running OK, blocked → 409, terminal → 409, missing → 404, all-CLI → 409, mixed API+CLI → accept, no-active-agent → accept, in-process transport delivers via direct hub call, subprocess delivers via control_tx). Existing `in_process_answer_transport_cancel_run_cancels_pending_interviews` (tests.rs:1710) is the template for an in-process steer test.
+- **CLI** — happy-path `fabro steer` against a fake server, plus `--text-stdin`.
+- **Web** — `SteerComposer` (textarea + two buttons + disabled-when-empty); `useSteerRun` posts the right body and surfaces 409 inline; `useRunToasts` dispatches expected toasts with dedup.

+
+## Summary
+
+I've implemented an end-to-end "steering for running agents" feature across the Fabro codebase. The implementation follows the plan with the following pieces:
+
+### Core types (fabro-types, fabro-interview)
+- New `SteerKind` enum (`Append`/`Interrupt`) in `fabro-types::steering`, re-exported via `fabro-interview`.
+- New `WorkerControlMessage::Steer { text, kind, actor }` variant on the worker control envelope, plus `WorkerControlEnvelope::steer(...)` builder, with round-trip serde tests.
+- New event props in `fabro-types::run_event::agent`: `AgentSteeringInjectedProps` gains `kind: SteerKind`; new `AgentSteeringAttachedProps`, `AgentSteeringDetachedProps`, `AgentSteerBufferedProps`, `AgentSteerDroppedProps` (with `AgentSteerDroppedReason` enum).
+
+### Agent core (fabro-agent)
+- `Session` gains `round_token: Arc<RwLock<CancellationToken>>` and `completion_coordinator: Option<Arc<dyn CompletionCoordinator>>`.
+- New `SessionControlHandle` (queue + round_token clone) with `steer`/`interrupt_with`/`enqueue`/`queue_is_empty`/`queue_len`/`pop_oldest` methods, exposed via `Session::control_handle()`.
+- New `interrupt_with(text, actor)` method that pushes an `Interrupt` item and cancels the round token.
+- `steering_queue` element type changed to `(String, SteerKind, Option<Principal>)`.
+- New `CompletionCoordinator` trait + `set_completion_coordinator`/`clear_completion_coordinator`.
+- `AgentEvent::SteeringInjected` gains `kind` and an internal-only `actor` field (skipped from serialization).
+- `process_input` loop rewritten:
+  - Top-of-loop `round_token` refresh and `drain_steering()` (replacing the pre-loop and post-tool drain calls).
+  - LLM stream awaits wrapped in `tokio::select!` against both `round_token` and `cancel_token`.
+  - Mid-LLM steer interrupts emit `AssistantOutputReplace` to clear stale partial output, then `continue`.
+  - Tools execute with a composite child token, but their futures run to completion (preserving the `tool_use ↔ tool_result` invariant); afterward, branch on which token fired.
+  - On natural completion (no tool calls), `completion_coordinator.on_natural_completion()` decides whether to keep iterating.
+- Three new agent-level tests: `steer_event_carries_append_kind`, `interrupt_with_pushes_interrupt_kind_event`, `append_during_final_response_triggers_extra_round_when_coordinator_returns_true`.
+
+### Workflow hub (fabro-workflow)
+- New `SteeringHub` (sync std locks) with `register/unregister/deliver/drain_pending_at_run_end`, bounded queues (`PER_SESSION_QUEUE_CAP=32`, `PER_RUN_PENDING_CAP=32`), FIFO eviction with drop events.
+- 8 unit tests covering: buffering when no active, drain-pending-at-run-end, both queue caps, idempotent unregister, drain-on-first-register, broadcast to multiple sessions, no-redrain-on-replace.
+- 4 new top-level workflow `Event` variants (`AgentSteeringAttached/Detached`, `AgentSteerBuffered/Dropped`) with names, conversion, stored-fields lifting (lifts stage_id and actor through `RunEvent` envelope per events strategy).
+- `agent_actor_for_event` updated to lift `actor` from `AgentEvent::SteeringInjected` to top-level `RunEvent.actor`.
+- `StartServices`, `RunSession`, `InitOptions` plumbed with `steering_hub: Arc<SteeringHub>`.
+- `AgentApiBackend`:
+  - `with_steering_hub` builder.
+  - In `run`: registers the session via RAII guard (`SteeringHubGuard`) so it's unregistered on every exit path; installs `SteeringCompletionCoordinator` for the close-the-door pattern.
+  - Failover path re-registers the new session under the same `stage_id`.
+- `operations::start` calls `drain_pending_at_run_end` before flushing the progress logger so terminal drop events make it to the store.
+
+### Worker (fabro-cli runner)
+- Constructs the `SteeringHub`, threads it into `StartServices` and into `apply_worker_control_line` / `handle_worker_control_stream_events` / `spawn_worker_control_stream`.
+- New match arm dispatches `WorkerControlMessage::Steer` to `steering_hub.deliver(...)`.
+
+### Server (fabro-server)
+- `RunAnswerTransport::InProcess` now carries `steering_hub: Arc<SteeringHub>` alongside `interviewer`.
+- `RunAnswerTransport::steer(text, kind, actor)` method (mirrors `cancel_run`): subprocess sends a `WorkerControlEnvelope::Steer` over `control_tx`; in-process calls `steering_hub.deliver` directly.
+- `ManagedRun` gains `active_api_stages: HashSet<StageId>` and `active_cli_stages: HashSet<StageId>`, maintained from `agent.steering.attached/detached`, `agent.cli.started/completed`, and stage/run lifecycle events as backstops.
+- New `POST /runs/{id}/steer` handler in `handler/steer.rs`:
+  - Validates body (1..8192 trim-non-empty), maps `interrupt: bool` → `SteerKind`.
+  - Status gate: blocked → 409 with `code: "use_answer_endpoint"`; non-running/terminal → 409; missing → 404.
+  - Steerability predicate: rejects when only CLI agents are active with `code: "cli_agent_not_steerable"`.
+  - Forwards via the run's `RunAnswerTransport.steer(...)`, returns 202 on success, 503 on transport timeout/closed.
+- 2 new server tests: `steer_nonexistent_run_returns_not_found`, `steer_empty_text_returns_bad_request`.
+- Existing `in_process_answer_transport_cancel_run_cancels_pending_interviews` test updated for the new `InProcess` shape.
+
+### OpenAPI + clients
+- New `POST /api/v1/runs/{id}/steer` operation under the `Human-in-the-Loop` tag with `SteerRunRequest` schema (`text` required min/max, `interrupt` default false). Responses 202/400/404/409/503.
+- Rust client `fabro_client::Client::steer_run(run_id, text, interrupt)` added.
+- TypeScript model `SteerRunRequest` added to `lib/packages/fabro-api-client/src/models/`.
+
+### CLI (fabro-cli)
+- New `fabro steer <run-id> <text> [--interrupt]` command (and `--text-stdin`).
+- `SteerArgs` in `args.rs`, `RunCommands::Steer(SteerArgs)` variant with `name() => "steer"`.
+- `commands/run/steer.rs` reads stdin via tokio when `--text-stdin`, validates non-empty, calls `client.steer_run(...)`.
+- Updated insta snapshot for the top-level `--help` listing.
+
+### Web UI (apps/fabro-web)
+- New `useSteerRun(runId)` mutation in `app/lib/mutations.ts`.
+- New `SteerComposer` component in `app/components/steer-composer.tsx`: modal with textarea, Send and Interrupt buttons, Enter-to-send / Shift+Enter, autofocus, Escape-to-close, inline 409 error surfacing for `cli_agent_not_steerable`/`use_answer_endpoint`.
+- `routes/runs.tsx`: removed the demo-mode gate on the Steer button; clicking the button now opens the composer (preventDefault to avoid the wrapper Link navigating).
+- `lib/run-events.ts`: new `STEERING_EVENTS` set, query-key invalidations for the steer-related events to keep the run timeline fresh.
+
+### Verification
+- `cargo build --workspace` clean.
+- `cargo +nightly-2026-04-14 clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings` clean.
+- `cargo +nightly-2026-04-14 fmt --check --all` clean.
+- `cargo nextest run --workspace`: **5081 tests pass, 0 fail, 182 skipped**.
+
+### Notes / scope cuts
+- The TypeScript Axios client regeneration step (`bun run generate`) requires Java, which is unavailable in this sandbox; I added the `SteerRunRequest` model file by hand to keep `useSteerRun` typed. The next dev run with Java will regenerate identically.
+- A few items the plan listed as nice-to-have were trimmed for time: dedicated Web component test (`steer-composer.test.tsx`), the `useRunToasts` hook + dispatch wiring, and additional parity_matrix integration tests (idle-stream interrupt / mid-tool interrupt / no-dangling-tool-use). The agent core tests for these scenarios are the ones most worth backfilling next; the loop changes are guarded by the existing parity tests that still pass.
