+   * work, and unbounded queueing of intermediate JSON snapshots is the
+   * memory-pressure scenario this view is designed to avoid. In practice

+   * fanning out to 10k concurrent asks each producing partials would
+   * accumulate ≈10k pending entries (~1 MB), which is the realistic
+   * ceiling for this view.
+   *
+   * Schema-retry awareness: each yielded value carries the 1-indexed
+   * `attempt` field from the underlying `partial_object` event. When a
+   * schema check fails and the agent retries, the runtime emits
+   * `pipeline(status: 'failed')`; this view drops any undrained pending
+   * partial for the affected ask so the consumer never sees stale
+   * attempt-N snapshots after attempt-N+1 has begun. Mirrors the
+   * per-attempt buffer reset that `AxlStream.fullText` applies to
+   * tokens. (Validate-stage and guardrail retries trigger the same
+   * reset.)
+   *
+   * Malformed `partial_object` events (those missing `data.object`) are
+   * silently filtered — the variant shape requires the field, so an
+   * undefined value is a producer bug rather than a meaningful state.
+   *
+   * Implementation note: this is a listener-based view (subscribes to the
+   * bus's `partial_object` channel via `.on()`), not an iterator-based
+   * filter like `.text` / `.lifecycle` / `.textByAsk`. As a result it does
+   * NOT race with the main async iterator — running `for await (const e of bus)`
+   * concurrently with `for await (const p of bus.partialObjects)` works
+   * cleanly (each `partial_object` event fires the listener AND queues for
+   * iterators).

+   *    fans out across all executions, while `ctx.events` is per-context.
+   *
+   * Lazy: the bus is allocated on first access. The bus's iterator
+   * queue retains events emitted before any consumer iterates, so a
+   * late `for await (const e of ctx.events)` still drains queued
+   * events. The `partialObjects` view additionally seeds from a
