+- `[TASK FINISHED from task <id8>, …]` is a background task I started (`task_create`, an `execute`
+  handed over at its limit) that finished while I wasn't waiting on it: its exit code, duration
+  and log tail. When it opens a turn with no user message ("task <id8> finished"), I carry on with

 - `forget_outputs` (only when my model's `llm_context.strategy` has the experimental forget layer)
   frees context: my tool outputs show ids like `[#t42]`, and a forget replaces them with a stub
   holding my note (the call stays; `keep` keeps lines, `restore` brings a non-read output back).
