docs: correct the turn-flow event order and dispatch modes

turn/start precedes the first claim and pre-step, a rejected or empty first claim closes a zero-step turn, llm/stream and tools/* are their own domains, and agent/turn-stopping is serial. Regenerates the lifecycle diagram from the same facts and names --patch overlays exactly.

## Turn flow
A **step** is one model request plus the tools it calls. A **turn** is one or more steps, opened from queued input and closed once nothing is owed.
A **step** is one model request plus the tools it calls. A **turn** is zero or more steps: it opens before its first input is claimed and closes once nothing is owed.

`turn/*`, `step/*`, `user/message`, `assistant/*`, and `tool/*` are durable session events; the rest are live `agent/*` waterfalls, whose listeners must call `next()` to delegate.
`turn/*`, `step/*`, `user/message`, `assistant/*`, and `tool/*` are durable session events; the rest are live extension points across three domains. `agent/pre-step`, `agent/request`, `llm/stream`, and the three `tools/*` events are waterfalls, whose listeners must call `next()` to delegate; `agent/turn-stopping` is serial and has no `next()`.
Input reaches the driver through one inbox. Some messages wake it immediately; injected context waits in the inbox until another message does.
`agent/pre-step` decides what the model sees. Listeners may rewrite the claimed messages or reject them outright, and a rejected attempt still opens and closes a durable turn, so the log records it. Each step then assembles what the model reads from the prompt sections and tool schemas that plugins registered.
