- * Wrap {@link runVpTurn} with a hard escalation deadline.
+ * Wrap {@link runVpTurn} with a second-stage abort escalation.
  *
- * The first-line defense is the in-turn watchdog inside runVpTurn: at
- * {@link QUERY_TIMEOUT_MS} of silence it calls `vpAbort.abort()`. When
- * adapters and tools cooperate with AbortSignal that's enough — the
- * engine throws AbortError, the catch handler emits `result{stopped:true}`,
- * and the driver's `finally` emits `vp_typing_end`.
+ * The in-turn watchdog is activity based: every engine event resets its
+ * silence timer, and only a genuinely silent turn calls `vpAbort.abort()`.
+ * This wrapper must therefore start its grace period from that abort signal,
+ * not from turn enqueue. A fixed enqueue deadline incorrectly terminates
+ * healthy long-running turns even while the LLM and tools keep making
+ * progress.
  *
- * This wrapper is the second-line defense for the "tool ignores signal"
- * failure mode. If runVpTurn doesn't return within
- * QUERY_TIMEOUT_MS + ESCALATE_AFTER_ABORT_MS we synthesize a clean exit:
- * emit a synthetic `result{stopped:true}` so the frontend leaves its
- * in-flight state, log loudly so operators know a tool is stuck, and
- * resolve. The hung promise leaks (the engine generator is permanently
- * blocked on a tool that ignores cancellation) but the user-facing turn
- * is closed and the next message can flow. Resolving the wrapper is
- * preferred over rejecting because the driver's catch already logs a
- * warning — we want a single, unambiguous "watchdog escalated" line in
- * the log instead of layered noise.
- *
- * Tool-level timeouts (see registry.js DEFAULT_TOOL_TIMEOUT_MS) are the
- * real cure: this wrapper should rarely fire because no tool should be
- * able to block longer than its budget. It exists as belt-and-suspenders
- * for tools that legitimately disable timeouts (long-running internal
- * helpers) or for adapter implementations that ignore signal.
+ * If an adapter or tool ignores AbortSignal and the turn still has not
+ * returned after {@link ESCALATE_AFTER_ABORT_MS}, emit one synthetic terminal
+ * result and unblock the per-VP driver. The dangling promise may eventually
+ * settle, so `escalationState` prevents it from emitting a second terminal
+ * result or overwriting the state of a newer turn.
