Agent Operating Instructions

Continuous milestone execution

When the user asks to continue, work autonomously through the active milestone and its verification. Do not send progress-only, acknowledgement, empty, or status final responses. Reply only when:

1. the user asks for status;
2. a real product, security, credentials, or destructive-action decision needs the user's input; or
3. the requested milestone is fully implemented and verified.

Use one foreground milestone batch where possible. If work must run in a background subagent, avoid notifying the user manually; inspect and verify the result before replying at the same completion boundary.

A chat turn still necessarily ends after a model response. This file prevents unnecessary model-generated completion messages; it cannot suppress harness-generated tool or subagent notifications.

Verification

Before claiming a milestone boundary, run make check and record focused acceptance evidence under docs/release/.
