 **The panel.** `LumenAssistant` reads a Think chat with no change. `ask(input, sink)` runs one answer and sends the panel's own events (`AssistantEvent`: the chat, the text, each tool line, cards, hand-off sections, advice, the use) to `sink`. The app's `POST /chat` returns `askResponse((sink) => chat.ask(input, sink), { signal, stop: () => chat.stop() })`, the same server-sent events `assistantRoutes` sends. `view()` gives a stored chat as the panel's items, and `usage()` gives the chat's use so far. A card's id is its tool call's, so the panel's Save, Dismiss and Undo go to `saveCard`, `dismissCard` and `undoCard`. The app keeps the list of chats, and each chat is its own agent, such as a facet of the person's store. `chunkEvents` and `itemsOf` are the mapping, for an app that streams some other way.
 
+**Steps.** One answer makes at most `plan.maxSteps` model calls (`MAX_STEPS`, 8). The last one runs with no tools and `LAST_STEP_NOTE`, so an answer always ends in words: what it found, and what is left when the task did not fit.
+
 **Steer and queue.** While an answer runs, the panel's box stays open: Enter steers the message into the answer (`steer(message)` on the agent; the app routes `POST /chats/:id/steer` `{ message }` to it and answers `{ steered }`), Alt+Enter queues it for after. A steer joins at the answer's next step, after the tool it is on, with `STEER_NOTE` before it for the model; the panel shows it there marked Steered (event `steered`), and `view()` keeps it in place (`SteerNote`, under the message the answer is to). A steer the answer ends before reading comes back as `unsteered` and goes first in the queue. `plan.steer: false` turns it off for a model; an app without the route (404) shows Queue only. Queued messages each go as their own message when the answer before them ends; each has Steer now, Edit and Remove.
