* The aborted exchange is recorded in history with an
`[Interrupted by user before completing.]` marker so the next turn's
model sees that the prior turn ended early.
* In `corteza::chat()` running under RStudio, Esc fires the interrupt
as expected. In the terminal CLI, only Ctrl+C is an interrupt —
terminals send raw `^[` for Esc, which is not a signal.
* Interrupt keys differ by environment: in the RStudio console
`corteza::chat()` is interrupted by **Esc** (RStudio's console
intercepts Ctrl+C for copy). In the terminal `~/bin/corteza` CLI it's
**Ctrl+C** — terminals send raw `^[` for Esc, which is not a signal.
