What

• Let a helper ask its parent, end the asking turn waiting, and continue from an exact answer delivered through its durable child inbox. Add ask_parent, steer_task, answer_task and cancel_task, with question-aware task_status.
• Preserve queued input across partial or failed follow-ups, keep original task instructions when steering arrives before execution, and prevent an old question retry from blocking a newer question.
• Repair question and answer outboxes after restart. Run task follow-ups on the supplied borrowed writer and hand parent reactions off only after the end acknowledgment.
• Advance stored format to 15. Custom Tasks implement the new controls and execute method; task executors honor the optional waiting control. Compose taskInboxRunner for child inbox follow-ups and rerun the extended port conformance kits.
