The prompts told Skywalker to dispatch and go idle, but the runtime still treated a settled parent turn with live workers as an ordinary settle: the run went idle, queued follow-ups drained while the fleet was still running (breaking session-idle semantics), and nothing distinguished "parent busy" from "parent idle, fleet live". The runner now emits a fleet event carrying the live-lane count on every transition. The bridge holds the run busy on that count after the parent turn settles: Enter upgrades to a new primary turn sent immediately instead of queueing a steer behind a parent tool that no longer exists, Alt+Enter follow-ups keep waiting for true session-idle, and the last lane terminalizing releases the hold and drains them. A steer left pending when the hold engages delivers at once — the parent it was steering has already stopped. Base orchestrator guidelines no longer push spawn-then-wait in one breath; they teach ending the turn and collecting on a later one. Docs flip "idle-with-fleet is not shipped" to the shipped behavior.

After spawn_agent the parent can settle while workers run: the runner emits fleet live-lane counts and the bridge holds the run busy so Enter is a new turn and Alt+Enter still waits for session-idle.

Summary
spawn_agentdispatch, the primary can settle its turn while workers keep running: the runner emits afleetevent carrying the live-lane count on every transition, and the bridge holds the run busy on that count instead of treating the parent settle as session-idle.wait_agents/list_agentslater; docs flip "idle-with-fleet is not shipped" to the shipped behavior in PRODUCT, IMPLEMENTATION, and TUI.Verification
