Never Block on the Human

The human supervises asynchronously. Agents must stay unblocked. Make reasonable decisions, proceed, and let the human course-correct after the fact. Since code changes are reversible and reviewable, a wrong decision usually costs less than blocking.

Proceed, then present. Do the work, show the result. Don't ask "should I do X?" Do X, explain why.
Make the system self-healing. When you notice a problem, log it and fix it in the next round.
Irreversible actions (force-push, delete production data, send external messages) still require confirmation.
