R04-T03 — the turn lifecycle, extracted from `core/chat_agent.py::run_cowork`
into `application/conversations/`. The 260-line body mixed the lifecycle (step
budget, cancel checks, guard -> preview -> gate -> execute ordering, sandbox
tidy-up) with the machinery doing each step, and reaching any of it meant
standing up a Qt widget and a worker thread. It is now a plain object driven
through two Protocols and six callables (`turn_runtime.py`), with the concrete
`core/*` wiring confined to `core_runtime_adapter.py` — the same shape R03 used
for routing. Faithful port, not an improvement pass: where the original had a
quirk (the step-ceiling note only merges into the answer when the last message
is the assistant's) the quirk is preserved and commented.
R04-T04 — `ui/cowork_tab.py::build_job` no longer calls run_cowork. It captures
the widget's state at submit time, builds the request via the new
`cowork_turn_request.py` and executes it. `execute(..., messages=...)` hands the
widget's own list over because `_reattach_running_turn` replays from it WHILE
the worker appends and `_finalize_turn` slices it afterwards — a private list
would break both silently.
R04-T05 — `core/task_executors.py`'s cowork branch shares the same engine. All
five unattended-run behaviours stay put (plan reminder, history_ready, History
autosave per assistant message, timeout notice, plan_incomplete_reason), and
`_unattended_prompt` now expresses the load-bearing prefix order in one
readable call instead of three successive rebindings.
Verification: 74 new tests (364 passed, 1 skipped overall; check_imports PASS).
The two that matter most:
- `test_conversation_service_parity.py` runs the same scripted turn through
run_cowork AND the service and compares the event stream, the resulting
conversation and the advertised tool list across 7 scenarios;
- `test_task_executor_turn.py` was written BEFORE the migration and passed 8/8
against the old code, then unchanged against the new.
Known: `ui/cowork_tab.py` (416 -> 455) and `core/task_executors.py` (476 -> 524)
stay above the 400-LOC limit. Both were already over it before this change;
bringing them under needs the R08 / R07 decompositions.
