When work needs you, it stops and says why
An agent that can’t get unstuck doesn’t loop. It stops, writes down the reason and everything it tried, and parks the work for a person. You answer — and the work picks up from your answer, not from zero.
Needs you
Nothing waits for you
Everything you answered is moving again — with your answer attached.
Stopping is cheaper than looping
The same stuck change, two ways. One keeps trying the same idea while nobody is told. The other is bounded: it stops, and a person gets everything it tried.
