"""The agentic turn loop, threaded and event-emitting (Milestone 2).

Faithful port of the prototype's loop — same Ollama native /api/chat call, same
message list, same tool dispatch, same MAX_TURNS, same content->thinking
fallback. Structural changes for M2, all host-side (the model's world is
unchanged):

  - A task runs on its own worker thread. The worker NEVER writes to the
    terminal: every print() the verbatim do_* tools emit is captured via
    redirect_stdout and shipped to the UI thread as an event. The UI thread is
    the sole owner of stdout / rich.Live / input(). This is what lets the tools
    stay byte-for-byte unchanged while running off the main thread.
  - Write/edit confirmations are routed to the UI thread through the task's
    PendingConfirmation (see request_confirmation). A backgrounded task blocks
    there until it is foregrounded — the "pause on write" behavior.
  - Plan steps are parsed from the model's own first-turn text and their
    active/done state inferred from tool calls (planparse), purely for display.

Milestone 3: the model I/O now goes through a provider adapter (resolved from
the registry by the active model), driven by the canonical Conversation. The
loop, confirmation routing, plan parsing, and events are unchanged — only the
transport is abstracted. Local Ollama still reaches its native /api/chat.
