- #104141: \[Feature\]: pre_finish hook for ordinary turn completion
- PR #142003: feat(plugins): pre_finish hook can keep any text answer going

All three members concern a plugin hook called pre_finish that runs at ordinary turn completion; one is a feature request and two are feature proposals or implementations. One title mentions letting the hook keep a text answer going, but the titles alone do not show how the proposals differ in detail.
