Exactly, any actions already initiated must finish before the next
transition can be calculated, because their results can affect what
needs to be done.

We don't kill actions in flight because it's perfectly reasonable for
actions to be split across multiple transitions. Often when some event
is happening, lots of micro-conditions (action results, node attribute
changes, etc.) change in a short time, and you'll see a new transition
after each one.
