/**
 * One chat turn over the server-owned native record. Framework-free (plain
 * Request/Response) so tests can drive it directly with a scripted faux
 * engine — the Next route handler in app/api/chat is a one-line wrapper.
 *
 * THE INPUT-EVENTS CONTRACT (Wave B, owner ruling 2026-09-26): POST /api/chat
 * carries {chatId, input} — one explicit event (text / answer / verdict /
 * continue), never a client transcript. The server owns the record; this
 * module is the TURN COMPOSITION ROOT: it turns the event into native
 * record appends (core/input-events.ts), builds the agent from the record
 * (the record IS the agent state — state.messages = record.messages,
 * continue()), and runs the turn as a background object (pi/ui-stream.ts).
 * Wake-pipeline steers ride the same composition (TurnInput's steer kind).
 *
 * THE SAME COMPOSITION serves both entry points: client requests and the
 * wake pipeline's server-side steers (src/server/jobs.ts) — one code path
 * for write-ahead persistence, turn liveness, and the turn services.
