+- `stopTurn` cancels via the turn runtime: aborting the signal of every
+  live advance the layer has started for the turn, else advancing the turn
+  with a `cancel` input. A turn can legally have several live advances at
+  once — one running invocation plus external-input invocations queued on
+  the turn lock — so the layer tracks them per turn and stop aborts them
+  all; the queued ones observe their aborted signal when the lock frees. A
+  cancel input that loses the race with a concurrent settle (the turn is
+  already terminal by the time it applies) counts as a successful stop.
 - `resumeTurn` re-enters the latest turn with no input — the turn spec's
   recovery entry point — for turns left `idle` by a crash. There is no
   automatic resume sweep at startup: recovery re-issues interrupted model
