simplify(agent): drop the unused public Agent.abort(), keep whenIdle()
The public Agent handle exposed abort() (step-only) and cancel() (queue-aware).
No production caller used abort() — ACP maps session/cancel to cancel(), and
lifecycle owners tear down via AgentHandle.dispose(); the loop's own stop paths
abort their per-step AbortController directly. So abort() is latent generality
that keeps a private loop mechanic public.
RFC-premise correction: the public-agent-stop-surface RFC proposed removing
whenIdle() too. Implementation found whenIdle() load-bearing — a real
quiescence primitive with a deliberate loop contract (settle-without-transition,
the replacement-turn race) and ACP test consumers; its proposed replacement
("observe the running->idle transition") is exactly the async-state race
AGENTS.md warns against. So only abort() is removed; whenIdle() stays. The RFC
is amended on the way to implemented/ to record the narrowed scope, and the new
AGENTS.md "RFCs are proposals, not golden truth" principle (PR1) gets its
worked example.
- Remove Agent.abort() from the interface + the ReactLoopAgent impl; the no-arg
'aborted' default goes with it (cancel() keeps its 'cancelled' default).
- Migrate tests: empty-queue abort() -> cancel(reason); the two review-fixes
tests whose subject is the in-flight step's AbortController drive that
controller directly via the private currentAbort field (cancel() would clear
the inbox and destroy the queued steering one of them proves survives a step
abort). The no-arg-default test is dropped (cancel()'s default is already
covered in cancel.spec.ts).
- Resulting public stop surface: cancel() + whenIdle(). Update agent/agent-loop
READMEs, architecture.md, core.md type-equiv, the extension cookbook, the
lifecycle RFC (short note), and the proposed ACP RFC.
