New initialize option perTaskStopAffordance changes what interrupt kills

SDK clients can opt in so an interrupt kills only the current turn, not background agents.

What

The SDK and stream-json initialize request accepts a new boolean saying your client renders a per-task stop control wired to the existing stop_task control request. Set it to true and an interrupt on an interactive stream-json session aborts only the current turn, leaving running background agents and workflows alive.

Details
  • Absence fails closed: the interrupt kills background tasks, as before.
  • A one-shot run with stdin closed still kills hold-back tasks even when the option is declared.
  • Client-declared at initialize; there is no server-side flag involved.
Evidence

Declares that this consumer renders a per-task stop control wired to the stop_task control request, so the user can stop an individual background task.

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
