Turn
Also called: turns, conversation turn, agent turn, back and forth, exchange
One round of a conversation with an agent: you send a message, and the agent works until it hands control back to you. Inside a single turn the agent may use many tools and make many requests to the model.
For example: A founder types 'add a pricing page' and the agent spends four minutes editing files before it replies. That whole stretch was one turn.
