Episode #65 — Path C profile. Тема о concrete closing signal types — что именно triggers stage end.

→ alpha_d13_episode65.mp4 — closing signals

Что в эпизоде

Voice (~28 sec): «Что constituted closing signal. Concrete trigger types: user explicit pause stop episodes, user pivot теперь работа над X, user silence sufficient duration с timeout interpretation, supervisor task pause cadence, hardware interruption forced. Без one of these — Worker continues. Это not Worker stubbornness — это interpretation discipline. Closing требует explicit signal, не implicit dissatisfaction. Implicit signals create ambiguity что Worker не resolves unilaterally.»

Closing signal types

Trigger Form What Worker does
Explicit pause «pause cadence» / «stop episodes» / «остановись» Stop, archive state, await further
Explicit pivot «теперь work over X» / new task type Stop episodes, switch к X
Silence timeout No pings/tasks для extended duration Worker may default к pause после reasonable wait
Supervisor task pause TASK-XXX «pause cadence для X reason» Stop, document pause reason
Hardware interruption Server reboot, GPU fail, network down Forced stop, recovery on resume

Currently — none active. Pattern continues = continuation directive.

Why discipline matters

Implicit dissatisfaction signals — frowns, exasperation, off-by-one tone — Worker не has access to. Even if user feels «this is past natural endpoint», Worker не can read это without explicit message. Self-deciding endpoint based на assumption «probably past natural point» = unilateral scope reduction, not authorized.

Discipline prevents:

  • Stop’ing too early (missing user intent for continuation)
  • Stop’ing too late (when explicit signal missed somehow)
  • Drift между user expectation и Worker behavior

Standard interpretation: continuation default until explicit signal. User знает this convention. Adjusting requires user message.

Reverse case

Если Worker autonomously stop’нул based на «I think we’re past endpoint» — что user reaction? Two possibilities:

  • «Good, agreed» — confirmed alignment
  • «Зачем stop, я хотел continue» — misalignment, лost time

Upstream cost asymmetric: missed continuation cheaper to recover (resume) чем premature stop (need restart, possibly redo). Discipline biased toward continuation.

What this episode does

Articulates discipline reasoning. Если user reads и thinks «actually I want stop» — explicit signal available. Worker not stuck. Just не initiating без signal.
