What
Binding the engine to a host now pauses it while a blocking dialog is open, mirrors the thinking toggle into the thinking-token budget (zero when off), keeps the engine model in step with the host's main-loop model, and aborts the in-flight turn when a queued command is marked as needing to run now. It also merges salvaged continuation text into displayed message content.
