Wait for pending steer ACKs before settling a handled prompt.

If a steer is awaiting an input handler when the turn-start ACK arrives, the new probe can see Pi as idle and complete the turn before the steer starts. The later work then loses its original turn ownership. Defer settlement until pending steer ACKs arrive, and rearm the probe afterward.

Review comment at @packages/provider-pi/src/server/adapter.ts around lines 2235
- 2239:
Update the settlement path around scheduleSettleProbe so a turn-start ACK does
not settle while a steer is still awaiting its input handler. Defer settlement
until pending steer ACKs arrive, then rearm the probe while preserving the
steer’s original turn ownership.

Preserve prompt response ownership before settling handled prompts.

If a steer’s input handler returns handled before the initial prompt’s handler finishes, the FIFO assigns the steer response to the initial prompt. The new branch can then settle the turn while the initial prompt is still pending. Its later work loses turn ownership.

Correlate responses with their prompts before applying handled settlement. Waiting for pending steer ACKs alone does not correct the swapped ownership.

Review comment at @packages/provider-pi/src/server/adapter.ts around lines 2235
- 2239:
Update the handled-settlement branch around responseTurn and scheduleSettleProbe
to correlate each response with its originating prompt before settling. Preserve
the initial prompt’s turn ownership until its handler finishes, so a steer
response assigned through the FIFO cannot settle the turn while that prompt is
still pending; waiting for steer ACKs alone is insufficient.
