  1. See that? The run is live, and the mic turned into a black square. That square is Stop. Hit it when you need to steer before this goes further.
  2. Now type the follow-up as its own message and queue it. It waits for the current step. You redirected the run without throwing the context away.
  3. Step finishes... and your queued follow-up is next. Interrupt, steer, keep going. No restart.
Watch the run controls: tool rows show the agent's evidence, Stop pauses a live run, and the queued follow-up steers what runs next.

Practice next: Now run the practice: stop a live Agent run, queue the follow-up, and let the next step continue.
