Development record
2026-10-18 — A session's mode shows on its central-view line (facilitator-on-delegation, itd-2610170634394993 planning prep): the line carries the session's state from the checklist draft's fixed set: working; waiting, with what it waits on and when it next looks; or stopped, which is allowed only while the person is present and is flagged. While the person is away a session with work never stops, and one with nothing it can do is waiting with its next look, so no session reads as idle. This follows the product thinker's ruling that the person must never wrongly believe agents are working or waiting (grounds: the draft's decision 6; itd-2610170638184486 modes)
