Agent-as-a-Model: forward multi-turn context, not just the last user message - #2500
Conversation
_run_agent_turn extracted only the last user message and passed it to drive_turn. Since drive_turn builds a fresh opencode adapter and session per call, prior messages (system, earlier user turns, assistant replies) were silently dropped from the agent-visible prompt, giving the agent amnesia on every multi-turn request from OpenAI-compatible clients. Build the prompt text from the full OpenAI conversation instead, prepending prior messages as context. The single-user-message path is unchanged (no context prefix when history is absent). The misleading comment claiming the harness already carries the context is replaced. Tests: a two-turn conversation asserts prior content reaches drive_turn; a single-message case asserts the text is forwarded unchanged. Docs-Reviewed: docs/agent-coordination.md documents only the consent-key surface and model scoping for /v1/chat/completions (plus the stale 501 stub note), not the internal prompt-building behaviour; this change does not alter the documented API contract.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Preserve chronological order and roles in forwarded conversation history.
The current history-building logic can place assistant or system content before earlier user content, so a request such as [user-1, assistant-1, user-2] may reach the agent in the wrong order. Serialize supported messages in their original request order with explicit role labels, then use the final user message as the current prompt. Add a system message to the test and assert that system, user, and assistant content appear in chronological order; the current assertions can pass despite the ordering bug.

CRITICAL: Conversation history is reordered - assistant responses appear before user messages
The prior_segments.append(user_text) at line 230 runs when a new user message is encountered, but any assistant/system messages between the previous and current user message were already appended at line 234. This produces a scrambled prompt: [user: A, assistant: B, user: C] becomes "B\n\nA\n\nC" instead of the expected "A\n\nB\n\nC".

WARNING: Test doesn't verify message ordering
test_chat_multi_turn_forwards_full_history only asserts that keywords appear somewhere in the prompt, but never checks the relative order of messages. This allows the conversation reordering bug above to pass undetected.

WARNING: Non-system/assistant/user roles are silently dropped
role in ("system", "assistant") at line 232 excludes other valid roles like tool. For conversations involving tool calls, tool results are completely lost from the agent's context, contradicting the "forward full conversation history" intent.

CARD TITLE (intent, not commit subject): Agent-as-a-Model: forward multi-turn context, not just the last user message
Autonomous build of board card tsk-qb3f23.
_run_agent_turn extracted only the last user message and passed it to
drive_turn. Since drive_turn builds a fresh opencode adapter and session
per call, prior messages (system, earlier user turns, assistant replies)
were silently dropped from the agent-visible prompt, giving the agent
amnesia on every multi-turn request from OpenAI-compatible clients.
Build the prompt text from the full OpenAI conversation instead,
prepending prior messages as context. The single-user-message path is
unchanged (no context prefix when history is absent). The misleading
comment claiming the harness already carries the context is replaced.
Tests: a two-turn conversation asserts prior content reaches drive_turn;
a single-message case asserts the text is forwarded unchanged.
Docs-Reviewed: docs/agent-coordination.md documents only the consent-key
surface and model scoping for /v1/chat/completions (plus the stale 501
stub note), not the internal prompt-building behaviour; this change
does not alter the documented API contract.
