While Claude Code is compacting context automatically, a steer offered at priority "now" aborts the compaction (compact_result: failed, compact_error: aborted, result aborted_streaming), and Claude starts compacting again. A coordinator thread that receives frequent t3_thread_send steers can keep restarting its compaction. To reproduce, send a steer to a Claude thread while its timeline shows "Compacting context".
ClaudeAdapterV2 holds steers on the active turn while its compaction runs. The hold check runs under the existing sdkMessageLock. Once the compaction ends (its compact_result status, or a bare compact_boundary on CLI versions that send only that), the held steers are offered in order at priority "now", so the same turn answers them.steerTurn waits until its steer is actually offered, so a steer reports success only once Claude has it. If the turn ends while the steer is held, steerTurn fails with the existing "ended before the steer was sent" error, and the existing steer-follow-up path re-dispatches the message.dispatchRunInterrupt now also cancels unsettled provider-turn.steer effects, the same way it already cancels provider-turn.start/restart. The effect outbox runs one effect per thread at a time, so without this a steer waiting out a compaction would hold Stop until the compaction ended. This applies to every provider: a steer still waiting to reach the provider when Stop arrives is cancelled, where before it was delivered and then interrupted.Fixes pingdotgg/t3code#25796

Verdict: Needs Human Approval
Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — This fix changes asynchronous steer delivery and Stop cancellation semantics, including a cross-provider outbox behavior change. The added lock/deferred state and turn-lifecycle coordination are sufficiently nontrivial to warrant human review despite focused regression tests.

Claude turns now hold steers received during compaction and offer them in order after compaction ends. Held steers fail if the turn stops or ends first. Run interruption also cancels pending steer effects.

Explanation
The description includes the required Problem, Change, Scope and approval, and Verification sections. It explains the reproduction, implementation, linked issue, test coverage, observed results, limitations, and agent usage.
Explanation
Issue [#25796] requires held steers during Claude compaction, ordered delivery on completion, same-turn handling, and cancellation of undelivered input on Stop or turn end. ClaudeAdapterV2 adds a lock-protected hold queue, releases it after compact_result or compact_boundary, waits for actual offer completion, and fails held steers when the turn ends or stops. Orchestrator cancels pending steer effects on interruption. The PR adds regression coverage for ordered release, Stop, turn end, and pending-steer interruption. These changes also preserve the existing follow-up path through the provider error for an unsent steer.
Explanation
The changed adapter, orchestrator, and tests support the linked issue [#25796]. The generic interruption change applies pending steer cancellation across providers, but it directly supports the required Stop behavior and prevents Stop from waiting behind an undelivered steer. No unrelated change is established.

Record an outcome for each cancelled steer.
dispatchRunInterrupt cancels unsettled provider-turn.steer effects. EffectOutbox.cancelUnsettled updates only the effect row. When the worker wins the cancellation race, it returns before executing the steer and its outcome handling. A steer held for compaction or pending in the outbox can therefore remain without an undelivered or failed message outcome.
Record an undelivered or failed state for each cancelled steer message before committing the cancellation. Emit an error turn item for each cancelled provider-turn.steer effect.
