 If you have a function call flow which you intend to _end_ with a certain function call, then you can use the second
 argument `runner` given to the function to either mutate `runner.messages` or call `runner.abort()`.
+Calling `runner.abort()` cancels the runner, so promise-returning helpers like `runner.done()`,
+`runner.finalChatCompletion()`, and `runner.finalFunctionToolCall()` will reject with an `APIUserAbortError`.
+Capture any data you need before aborting, or listen for the relevant event.
