# Turn admission

- The turn lock refuses immediately and never queues.
- An autonomous caller preserves and propagates `ErrSessionTurnBusy` for retry; it is not success, permanent failure, or a consumed notification.
- Retry absorbs tasks completed while waiting and avoids starting a second turn.
- Acquire the turn before replacing live relay ownership.
- Every new autonomous path gets an end-to-end test with the real manager lock.
