+// ---- ordered keystroke delivery ------------------------------------------
+//
+// Every keystroke the terminal emits used to become its own fire-and-forget
+// POST /api/send. Nothing tied those requests together, so a fast typist had
+// several in flight at once — and independent requests have no ordering
+// guarantee on ANY of the three transports the console uses (plain fetch, the
+// /api/mux socket's request/response pairs, the WebRTC room's). Worse, the
+// host resolves the target agent (`resolveOne`, disk I/O) before writing to
+// its FIFO, so two requests that arrive in order can still reach the write in
+// the other order. Nothing is dropped and nothing errors — the characters just
+// land transposed, which is exactly how it was reported: typing "which is also
+// the r" produced " which il sao sthe r".
+//
+// The fix is to never have two writes in flight for one agent. `push` queues,
+// and a single drain loop sends one request at a time. While that request is
+// out, the burst of typing behind it accumulates and goes as ONE payload, so
+// the common case (typing faster than the round trip) gets fewer requests than
+// before rather than more.
+//
+// Deliberately NOT a debounce: delaying input would hide the race behind added
+// latency while leaving two concurrent writes possible whenever the delay was
+// beaten. Serializing removes it.
