Turn {turn_id} is not active on thread {thread_id}

Error message

Turn {turn_id} is not active on thread {thread_id}

What it means

interrupt_turn's id match failed: the thread has an active turn, but its turn id differs from the requested one. This catches stale turn ids (from an older, finished turn) being interrupted by mistake, before any stop signal is sent.

Solutions

1. Fetch the thread's current turn id
2. Retry the interrupt with that id
