a lot of the use-cases seem to be centered around "save as new order" - maybe we should expose that directly? As is, between listing messages and saving messages there could be a race, only likely to happen when kicking off a bunch of sub-agents in parallel or something?
Then it can transactionally make a new order to save to.
But overall being able to save to a previous order seems reasonable. But generally you can use promptMessageId to save to that order already?
wdyt?

I see two possible public shapes: // Semantic operation: allocate the next order inside the component.
await agent.saveMessage(ctx, {
threadId,
newOrder: true,
message,
});
// General placement primitive: caller selects an exact persisted order.
await agent.saveMessage(ctx, {
threadId,
order: targetOrder,
message,
});
The reason I leaned toward numeric If we do not want to make that primitive public now, I think |

I am ok with both! Would it be too funky to have |

not usually a fan of unions like this but I do think it works quiet well here |

Allow callers to select an exact message order or atomically allocate the next order while assigning step order transactionally in the component. This keeps human operator replies from merging with an earlier agent turn while preserving existing default placement.

this seems a tad paranoid given that we're validating the order param explicitly...
Closes #282.
Adds an optional order to saveMessage and saveMessages, with stepOrder assigned transactionally by the component. This lets standalone assistant messages, including human operator replies, start a separate UI turn without changing existing default placement.
Explicit orders append when the target order already exists, reject conflicting placement inputs, and preserve ordering for backdated or future batches. The human-agent documentation and example now calculate the next order within the same mutation so concurrent replies remain serializable.
