Copy the current SessionEventMap prompt and route JSDoc into both subsystem references so type-equiv validates the prepared-route and clear-all semantics. Remove the Mermaid statement delimiter from the generated retry note while retaining the same lifecycle meaning; regenerate graph artifacts and confirm both bilingual pairs. Validation: verify-type-equiv, verify-mermaid, verify-doc-graphs, scoped verify-translation-pairing, and git diff --check.

Agent Turn And Step Lifecycle
This sequence is the visual companion to architecture.md. It keeps durable replay facts on session/event and live control/status on agent/*.

The assistant/message event records every successful provider call, including content-less and max-tokens finishes, and embeds the exact compact timed stream. Empty content stays out of derived history. A failed, retried, cancelled, or stream-error attempt that reaches settlement without a surface message records its stream as assistant/attempt. Live agent/assistant-stream chunk frames are transient; replay reads either durable settlement, and a hard process loss before settlement leaves no durable attempt stream.
dsh-compaction-basic uses agent/pre-step for pressure before request derivation and agent/request-error only for canonical context overflow. Once either trigger qualifies, optional tool-result pruning runs before summary selection. Recovery runs within the open step and retries only when pruning or summarization advances the surface replacement generation; otherwise the original request error remains authoritative. Each retry prepares its call and reconciles the retained rendered assembly before request derivation, without repeating assembly, pre-step, or user admission.
The returned agent/pre-step decision is authoritative; listeners wrapping next() preserve downstream messages and startsRequestSeries unless replacement is intentional. Steering and injected context pass through the same waterfall after a later claim operation takes their next-step batch.
SDK users that need replayable transcript data should consume session/event; agent/* is the live coordination API for queue/status, prompt interception, request construction, steering, continuation, and errors.
