 #### Abort on a function call
 
 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()`.
+argument `runner` given to the function to inspect the terminating call, mutate `runner.messages`, or call
+`runner.abort()`.
+
+Because `abort()` ends the run immediately, the `final*` helpers will reject afterwards. Capture the terminating call
+inside the function itself (or via event handlers), then await `runner.done()` and handle the abort error.
