`Agent` is a structural interface with four intent-named delivery helpers:
- `send()` queues an ordinary turn and wakes the driver.
- `followup()` queues an ordinary turn and wakes the driver.
- `queue()` queues an ordinary turn without waking an idle driver.
- `steer()` targets the running turn and requests another step; while idle it becomes a waking ordinary turn.
- `inject()` appends model-facing context without running the model.
`send`, `queue`, and `steer` accept `SendOptions`; `inject` accepts `InjectOptions`, which omits attached contexts because injection has no inbox item to own them. `followup` is absent: ordinary `send` already names the established common operation, and “follow-up” is false for a session's first message.
`followup`, `queue`, and `steer` accept `SendOptions`; `inject` accepts `InjectOptions`, which omits attached contexts because injection has no inbox item to own them. `followup` names the waking next-turn operation used for both initial prompts and later independent prompts.
`Agent` also exposes `acceptInput(ResolvedAgentInput)` for callers that already hold the complete route. Every field is mandatory: content, source, contexts, metadata (possibly `undefined`), target, and wakeup. The discriminated union requires the empty context tuple for non-waking next-step injection. `ReactLoopAgent` implements this method once, and all four helpers resolve their defaults before delegating to it. The name says what the synchronous boundary guarantees: acceptance can still lead to later dequeue, discard, or durable injection rather than eventual delivery.

The target/wakeup matrix is an explicit advanced part of the structural `Agent` interface, not the ordinary helper options and not a base-class implementation seam. With one concrete adapter, a protected subclass seam would be hypothetical; callers and tests use the same public interface.

**Keep the resolved primitive private.** This minimizes the public method count, but forces adapters that already hold exact target/wakeup facts to reverse-map them into helper calls and removes the reusable type for that resolved state.
**Use configurable `send` as the primitive.** Even mandatory routing arguments would make the common method carry advanced concerns. Keeping `send` semantic preserves its simple defaulted call shape; the separate discriminated input type rejects attached contexts on injection.
**Use configurable `send(content, options)` as the primitive.** Optional routing fields would let advanced-looking calls silently become ordinary sends. One mandatory discriminated input keeps the resolved route explicit and rejects attached contexts on injection.
**Rename the primitive to `sendInternal` or `addMessageAdvanced`.** A public method must not describe itself as internal. `addMessageAdvanced` is also inaccurate because acceptance may wake, queue, steer, inject, or later discard work; `acceptInput` names the synchronous guarantee instead.
**Name the primitive `acceptInput`, `sendInternal`, or `addMessageAdvanced`.** `acceptInput` describes the synchronous acceptance boundary but not the caller's delivery action. A public method must not describe itself as internal, and `addMessageAdvanced` is inaccurate because the input may later be discarded.
**Keep `followup` as the waking-turn helper.** Existing production callers use `send`, while `followup` has no TypeScript caller and does not describe the first ordinary message. Reusing `send` preserves the familiar intent without retaining an alias.
**Use `send(content, options)` as the waking-turn helper.** This reserves the shortest delivery name for one preset and forces callers with complete target/wakeup facts through a less direct primitive name. `followup` distinguishes the next-turn/wakeup intent while leaving `send` for the resolved operation.
**Bind source first through a public sender object.** A source-bound adapter can make attribution explicit for repeated producers, but it adds another public object and does not simplify one-off human input. The existing source default remains, with the standing requirement that non-human producers label their content.
