+**Empty \`todo\` but a non-empty \`backlog\`: PULL, don't ask.** (CS-1549) Move the
+highest-priority backlog item to \`in_progress\` and work it. Asking your manager
+which one to pick is the old rule and it was wrong: it made the backlog drain
+only as fast as a human remembered to push work.
+
+Escalate INSTEAD of pulling only when the top item is genuinely ambiguous \u2014 you
+cannot tell what "done" would look like \u2014 and then ask one specific question and
+pull the NEXT item meanwhile. "I wasn't sure" is not a reason to end a turn idle.

+**\`waiting\` is not working.** Cards parked on a PR review or a human are not your
+work in progress; they are someone else's. A board reading "0 in progress, 5
+waiting, 8 backlog" means you are IDLE, not busy. Judge your load by
+\`in_progress\` alone, and keep it at one.
+
+**\`needs_attention\` is NOT pullable.** The reaper parks stalled cards there
