Claude holds a `now` message until a running tool call returns, so a steer sent while a command ran was read only after the command finished. steerTurn now interrupts the turn without closing the query and then offers the steer, as Esc then send does in Claude Code. The interrupt is sent only for a user's own message while a tool call is open and no permission or question callback is in flight, its acknowledgement wait is bounded at five seconds, and a turn that ended meanwhile refuses the steer instead of receiving it. Ports the approach of nekohasekai's pingdotgg#12541 to the V2 adapter.

ApprovabilityVerdict: Approved at Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This is a contained Claude-adapter bug fix that makes user Steer messages interrupt an active tool and continue the same session, while preserving existing behavior for approvals, scheduled work, delegated notices, and other providers. Extensive targeted tests cover the new races, timeout fallback, failure cleanup, and Stop behavior, with no schema, default, or deployment changes. You can add or adjust custom eligibility rules.

A subagent's own tool calls sit in the same open-call map as root-thread calls, so a steer sent while only a subagent's tool was running interrupted the turn and took the whole subagent down. The interrupt now requires an open root-thread tool call; a steer during a foreground subagent waits as before.
The user-steering case now interrupts the running turn before offering the steer, so the shared fake query can no longer die on interrupt. It counts interrupts instead and asserts one for the user steer and none for the automatic deliveries, which still never interrupt.

Fixes #15720
Problem
With Follow-up behavior set to Steer, a message sent to Claude while it runs a command shows as steered at once, but Claude reads it only after the command returns. Behind a slow scan or a hung request, that can take minutes. The composer docs say Steer steers the running turn immediately, and Cursor's Steer does since V2.
The Claude adapter offers the steer with
nowpriority and nothing else. Claude ends text generation for anowmessage, but it holds the message until a running tool call returns.Change
ClaudeAdapterV2.steerTurnnow does what Esc, then send does in Claude Code: it interrupts the running turn without closing the query, then offers the steer. The abort result is absorbed by the existing active-steering handling, so the turn stays open, and the steer runs right after the abort.No contract changes. Other providers are unchanged.
Since #15892 the Claude capabilities record
activeSteeringInterruptsTools: Claude's native queue cancels tools that are still pending when a steer is consumed. A command that is already running is not cancelled by that, so the user's steer still waits for it. That running-command case is what this PR interrupts. Delegated-completion notices, which #15892 now keeps in T3's queue, never trigger the interrupt here.Upstream #15892 also added
ClaudeAutomaticDelivery.integration.test.ts, whose shared fake query dies on any interrupt. Its user-steering case is a user's own steer while root tool calls run, which is exactly the case this PR interrupts, so the test is adapted: the fake counts interrupts and asserts one for the user steer and none for the child-completion and scheduled deliveries. Those two still never interrupt. The replay frames and every other assertion are unchanged.Credit
This ports the approach of @nekohasekai's earlier fix, #12541 (closed during the V2 freeze), to the V2 adapter: Claude's Steer interrupts the running turn instead of queueing behind it, the interrupt keeps the session alive, Stop stays the hard stop, Queue is unchanged, and an interrupt that fails falls back to the old delivery. The bug report, its reproduction script, the timing table showing that Claude holds a
nowmessage until a running Bash call returns, and the Agent SDK check that an interrupt withoutclosekeeps the same session all come from their issue. What differs: #12541 added aninterruptActiveTurncontract field, web wiring and an adapter capability, and waited for the turn's terminal result with a 15-second limit. This PR changes only the V2 adapter, waits only for the interrupt's acknowledgement (5 seconds), and relies on the adapter's existing handling of abort results. Their SDK check sent the steer before the interrupt; this PR sends it after, which was checked separately below.Verification
Real CLI. A standalone Agent SDK script ran against the real CLI:
@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk0.3.276 (the server's dependency), Claude Code 2.1.287, modelclaude-sonnet-5-5. It used default permissions,settingSources: [], and acanUseToolthat allowed only the one command. Claude Code refuses a standalonesleep 60("Blocked: standalone sleep 60"), so the command wascurl --silent --max-time 120against a local endpoint that never answers. Each run sent one more plain message at the end to check that the session was still usable. Times are seconds since the script started.successaborted_toolsSTEEREDAFTERaborted_toolsSTEEREDAFTERaborted_tools; 5.592aborted_streaming(first steer's reply)SECONDAFTERIn every variant the command stopped within about 10 ms of the interrupt. No interrupt aborted a steer offered after it. In (c), the second interrupt cut off the reply to the first steer, which was offered before it, as intended. The last steer's reply ended with its own
successresult in the same session each time. A separate run logged every frame: notool_progressframe arrived during 15 seconds of a running foreground Bash call, andtask_startedarrived 5.07 seconds aftertool_use. So the interrupt is gated on an open tool call, not on progress. Betweentool_useand the permission callback, the runs measured 5 to 45 ms.Adapter tests. Cases in

There is no screen recording. The change is in the server adapter, and the evidence is the CLI frame log and the adapter tests. No T3 client was driven end to end.
Limitations
tool_usein these runs), the interrupt can cut that request short. Its card then stays on screen and cannot be answered until the turn ends.A possible follow-up is to mark a request card as cancelled when its callback is aborted, which would close item 2 for every timing.
This overlaps mechanically with #15653 in the same
steerTurnblock. The two are compatible: #15653 sends delegated-completion notices withnextpriority and marks onlynowsteers as steered, and this PR interrupts only for messages the user sent, so notices are never interrupted.Not checked: a T3 client end to end (web, desktop, mobile), remote and tunnel connections, other Claude Code or SDK versions, a real 5-second interrupt stall, foreground subagents, MCP tools as the running tool, Windows and Linux, usage accounting of the aborted segment, and checkpoint contents.
Implemented with Claude Opus 5.5, verified with GPT-6 Astra, coordinated by Claude Fable 5.1 in Claude Code.
