        SESSION_AGENT_CACHE).
      - Verify a stream is currently active for this session.
      - Call agent.steer(text) — thread-safe, stashes text in
        _pending_steer for application at the next tool-result boundary.

    The agent's loop calls _apply_pending_steer_to_tool_results() at the
    end of every tool batch and appends the steer text to the last tool
    result's content with a marker, so the model sees the steer as part
    of the tool output on its next iteration. The user's stream is NOT
    interrupted.

    If no agent is cached, the agent is too old to support steer, or no
