Every pending occurrence is its `UserMessage`; `MessageId` is the sole identity. `Inbox.splice(target, start, deleteCount, inserted, outcome?)` uses standard splice coordinates, rejects duplicate pending message ids, and records the normalized mutation as durable `agent/inbox/spliced`. Replaying those events reconstructs both `nextTurn` and `nextStep`, including edits, insertion, admission, and cancellation.

Every pending occurrence is its `UserMessage`; `MessageId` is the sole identity. `Inbox.append`, `prepend`, `update`, `remove`, and `splice` record normalized durable `agent/inbox/spliced` mutations and reject duplicate pending ids. Ordinary removals are cancellations. `claim(target)` atomically removes the proposed step batch through pure deletion splices; the loop separately emits per-message claimed notifications. Whole-queue consumers such as UI projections reconstruct `nextTurn` and `nextStep` from the durable splices, while consumers following one message use the exact `agent/inbox/inserted`, `claimed`, and `discarded` notifications.

`AgentStatus` is `'idle' | 'running'`, and `SessionId` is branded. Disposal removes the agent from the registry and emits `agent/disposed`; it is not a terminal status value. `running` describes the driver-wide drain interval and may span consecutive queued turns; it does not prove a turn is still open. `followup()` returns no handle: its `MessageId` identifies durable inbox and admission facts, not a later assistant output or turn ending. `whenIdle()` observes the whole agent, so callers may call a receipt-to-idle interval a run only when they explicitly own that interval ([decision](../../.agents/notes/implemented/architecture/2026-07-30-followup-enqueue-and-owned-runs.md)). `AgentOptions` is merge-extensible: core declares `provider?`, `model?`, and `maxTokens?` (dispatch requires provider and model after `agent/request`). When present, `maxTokens` must be a positive safe integer and caps every conversation-model request; omission allows the exact-model adapter default to materialize before the request header, or otherwise leaves provider behavior unchanged. Persona belongs to `dsh-system-prompt`: an agent-scoped `deployment:persona` may shadow the global default.

The cause is a TypeScript-enforced same-process input. An active cancellation holder copies it into the runtime-only `AbortSignal.reason`; a signal grants cooperating listeners no classification authority. Durable `turn/end` retains the coarse `{ kind: 'aborted' }` outcome; request provenance would require a separate durable event rather than overloading the terminal result.
