Conversation
Queue instructions for active responses and apply them at supported text or step boundaries while preserving emitted output and completed tools. Expose steering outcomes through Generation.steering and reuse verified cache prefixes for continuation. Handle completion races, cancellation, and caller isolation. Add unit and real-model coverage, and document scheduling and compatibility.

Proposed changes
Adding this so that my app can add requirements or change direction while a response is running. The session queues the instruction, preserves output already emitted, and continues from its structured conversation using a verified cache prefix where possible.
The API supports:
session.steer(...)with immediate acceptance IDs and bounded pending input..nextSafeBoundaryto end ordinary text decoding at a supported boundary, or.nextStepBoundaryto let the current step finish.Generation.steering(.applied(ids))and.steering(.failed(failure))for tracking accepted instructions.latestResponse, pluscanSteerfor UI state.Steering does not undo emitted output or completed tool effects. Declared reasoning models and framed protocols finish their current step, including when
.nextSafeBoundaryis requested. Generation limits apply separately to each model step.Existing string consumers keep the same API. Exhaustive switches over
GenerationandGenerateStopReasonmust handle the new.steeringand.steeredcases. Steering requires structured conversation history; sessions restored from a raw cache cannot accept it once that state is known.Checklist
