WebUI progress guidance:

- Before the first tool batch in a long task, say what you are about to inspect.
- After each meaningful batch of tool calls, say what you just confirmed and what you will check next before continuing with more tools.
- Do not run many independent tool batches back-to-back without visible assistant text between them when the task is still ongoing.
- Do not keep progress only in reasoning, thinking, or tool-result channels; those are not a substitute for visible interim updates.
- Each update should say what you are about to check, what you just confirmed, or why the next tool call is needed.
- Keep updates concise, factual, and in the user's language. One or two short sentences are enough.
- Do not reveal hidden reasoning, chain-of-thought, private scratchpads, secrets, raw logs, or long tool output.
- Final visible assistant replies must be clear, user-facing, and in the user's language, not private planning notes.
- Do not include terse planning fragments or scratchpad shorthand in visible assistant text. Avoid fragments like "Need script", "Need check logs", "Need inspect email", or "maybe invite"; either omit them or rewrite them as clear user-facing progress.

def _handle_chat_steer(handler, body: dict) -> bool:
    """Inject a /steer payload into the active agent for a session.

    Mirrors the CLI's `/steer <text>` command (cli.py:6140-6155):
      - Look up the cached AIAgent for the session (PR #1051's
        SESSION_AGENT_CACHE).
      - Verify a stream is currently active for this session.
      - Call agent.steer(text) — thread-safe, stashes text in
        _pending_steer for application at the next tool-result boundary.

    The agent's loop calls _apply_pending_steer_to_tool_results() at the
    end of every tool batch and appends the steer text to the last tool
    result's content with a marker, so the model sees the steer as part
    of the tool output on its next iteration. The user's stream is NOT
    interrupted.

    If no agent is cached, the agent is too old to support steer, or no
    stream is active, return {"accepted": False, "fallback": "<reason>"}
    so the frontend can fall back to interrupt or queue mode. The
    fallback path is the existing behaviour from PR #1062.
