make it possible for turns to occur in the stream that are not agent-shell initiated

I am working on a muxer called hydra-acp that allows agent-shell to play nicely with the same session running in the terminal (or other clients like slack, browser, etc). The nice thing here is you can switch operating mode from emacs to terminal easily by:

npm install -g @hydra-acp/cli

And adding this to your .emacs:

(setq agent-shell-command-prefix (lambda (_buffer) (and (executable-find "hydra-acp") '("hydra-acp" "launch"))))
(advice-add 'agent-shell--make-acp-client :around
            (lambda (orig-fn &rest args)
              (let* ((buf (plist-get args :context-buffer))
                     (cmd (plist-get args :command))
                     (env (plist-get args :environment-variables))
                     (extra (delq nil
                                  (list (when buf (format "HYDRA_ACP_NAME=%s" (buffer-name buf)))
                                        (when cmd (format "HYDRA_ACP_AGENT=%s" cmd))))))
                (plist-put args :environment-variables (append extra env))
                (apply orig-fn args))))

With this you can then start agent-shell as normal and interact. Then in a terminal just run hydra-acp and the same session shows up in terminal making it easy to switch modes of operation. Similarly you can start in hydra-acp on the terminal and then go to agent-shell and find your session in the session list and join it there.

Thank you for contributing to agent-shell!

Sorry, it's taking me some time to get to some PRs and issues since #500. AFAIK, at present, this isn't possible with current ACP featureset? Having said that, a few months ago, someone wanted something similar in agent-shell and so we added something non-standard. Have a look in agent-shell-experimental.el.

;; session/push: Server-initiated prompt push.  The server sends
;; a request to the client, followed by session/update notifications,
;; concluded by an session_push_end notification.  The client
;; then responds to the original request.

No worries and congrats on the baby, hope all is going great :)

You're right from current ACP it isn't really possible but there is outstanding rfd to deal with multiplexing that I'm leaning on in hydra. I'm not sure that session/push is quite what we're looking for since the session is really being multiplexed rather than just happening out of band.
