Continuous Mode — stop asking "what's next"
Signal
Agent work kept ending as fix → report → ask, which capped velocity at human turn latency — Daniel is the bottleneck on gates, not ordinary judgment.
Wrong turn
Build another agent dashboard, freestyle risky decisions, or wait for chat to name every next step / second-guess doctrine.
Correction
Durable ranked queue + ACTIVE state + outer loop, bound to north star (DIRECTION, phase, SUPERSEDED, principles, LOCKs). Human is trajectory and crucial gates (Telegram OK); corpus answers the rest.
The bottleneck was never "can the model edit files." It was the social default of finishing a turn by asking for the next command.
Continuous Mode makes the queue the source of "what's next," keeps live state on disk so compaction does not erase the thread, and reserves Daniel for money, legal, and trust doors — with one clear ASK, while safe work continues.
This is a LOCK on operating style: until wrap is requested, ready queue items get executed. Inventing a second control-plane UI is not the fix; wiring Grok headless, subagents, and the existing corpus is.
