  • Questions and warnings go in one closing block. A report from the human:
    questions got lost in long replies. Read back in that session, a question was
    followed by status text and then by several progress notes, and one was not
    understood. A new section, QUESTIONS AND WARNINGS, sits in the core protocol
    before the never-do list and holds for every reply, Trivial and chat included:
    everything that waits for the human's answer or action goes in one block at
    the very end under a «❓ Question:» line (the word in the human's language),
    with nothing after it; until answered it repeats in every later reply, and a
    progress note carries it as one line; when nothing runs in the background and
    the host has a questioning tool, the question goes through it and the block
    holds a pointer; only four things get a «⚠️ Important:» line — an irreversible
    or external act, a spend past its cap, a red or unverified result handed over,
    a risk of losing data. Step 1.6's consent question (its Light example now
    reads «❓ Question: doing X — ok?», since agents copy the example), Step 4's
    tweak handback line, Step 6's fresh-start offer, the dev-mode report,
    /payne-edit §8 and DEPLOYMENT follow. The talk level keeps the block and the
    warning lines whole, so its recipe changes for the first time since 0.8.0: a
    host that copied it should copy it again (now ≈490 tokens, tiktoken
    o200k_base, counted as AGENT.md SETTING IT says). The digest gains a four-line
    paragraph; to stay inside its band it drops a maintainer note and a path hint,
    and the persona's optional status moves into its heading. Evidence, on the
    stand with the scorer and its rule logged before the runs (a reply counts when
    its first turn ends in the ❓ block): every consent reply ended on its
    question; the marker held in 3 of 6 while the Light example lacked it and in 3
    of 3 once the example carried it; a plain answer carried no marker on its
    first turn (2 of 2). Repetition across replies is not measured.
