If your harness aborts the call with its own tool timeout (on Codex the error reads `timed out awaiting tools/call`), the flow is still running server-side. Do not start a new flow and do not investigate — call `get_flow_status(wait: true)`. Without a `flow_run_id` it reads the newest open flow this session started (pass `session_id` for another session's), so it works even when the aborted start never handed you the id or context compaction dropped it; with several open flows it lists them for you to pick from. On a harness that gives the flows server no session identity, it reads the flows started from this workspace on this machine instead.

43
+ To continue a plan that an earlier session left unfinished — yours or a teammate's. Finding and reading use the `kcap-sessions` tools; the only writes are the reconciling snapshot in step 3, when one is needed, and the adoption in step 5, always last.
44
+
45
+ 1. **Find it.** `list_repo_plans` lists this repository's open plans. Read each row's `sessions` together: a session that is `active`, not `stale`, and whose `last_touched_at` is recent may still be executing the plan — **ask the user before adopting it**. An active session whose `last_touched_at` is old has most likely moved to other work; a session stays attached to every plan it ever touched, so that alone is no reason to hold back. The default `state: "open"` lists plans with a visible unfinished task; a plan whose visible tasks are done but whose withheld tasks are not is absent from it. When the plan you expect is missing, call `list_repo_plans(state: "all")` and look for rows with `is_complete: false`.
46
+ 2. **Read it.** `get_declared_plans(plan_id: …)` for the documents and the full task list.
47
+ 3. **Compare the document.** Read the plan file from *this* checkout at its repo-relative `path` and compare it with `content_hash` — the lowercase hex SHA-256 of the file's bytes, as `shasum -a 256` prints it. If it changed, the task list may be out of date. Reconciling it means sending a new snapshot with `set_plan_tasks(plan_id: …)`, and a snapshot **replaces** the list — a task it omits is deleted, a note it omits is cleared:
48
+ - **`is_complete` is `true`:** reconcile now, **before** step 5, carrying every existing task's `task_id`, `status` and `note` over from step 2. Sent after step 5, the snapshot would carry the resumed task's earlier `pending` status and put it straight back.
49
+ - **`is_complete` is `false`: never send a snapshot.** Your view is missing someone else's tasks or notes, and a list rebuilt from it would destroy them. Carry on with `update_plan_task`, which changes one task and nothing else, and tell the user the document changed and the list could not be reconciled from your view.
50
+ 4. **Verify before continuing.** The ledger records what the earlier session *claimed*. A task left `in_progress` may be half-written: check the working tree and the history since the document's `commit_sha`, when it is set, before picking it up.
51
+ 5. **Adopt it.** `update_plan_task(plan_id: …, task_id: …, status: "in_progress")` on the task you are resuming. That attaches this session to the plan and makes it the session's current plan, so later calls can omit `plan_id`. This is always the last write of the procedure.
52
+
53
+ **Do not call `declare_plan_document` for that plan's file while resuming from a different checkout** — a new worktree, another clone. It would start a second plan, point this session at it, and split the ledger: your progress would land on an empty plan while the original stops moving. Rule 1's "declare a document when you read it" does not apply here. From the same checkout path, declaring it again is harmless.

+ 1. `progress.finished` is `true` — the plan is done.
117
+ 2. `progress.completed` is less than `progress.total` — the plan is open. What remains is every entry of `tasks` whose status is neither `completed` nor `skipped`; a `list_repo_plans` row has no `tasks`, and gives the first of them as `next_task`.
118
+ 3. `is_complete` is `false` — nothing visible remains — possibly nothing visible was declared — but the view is partial; say so and do not call the plan complete.
119
+ 4. Otherwise `progress.total_known` is `false` — the session declared documents but never a task list, so completion is unknown. That is not withheld data; do not report it as a partial view. If instead `total_known` is `true`, the server itself reports the plan unfinished — treat it as open and do not infer completion from the totals.
120
+
121
+ **`is_complete` does not mean the work is done.** It means nothing was withheld from your view, and a half-finished plan usually has `is_complete: true`. `finished` is the field that answers "is it done". If `progress` has no `finished` field, the server predates it: the plan is finished only when `total_known` is true **and** `completed` equals `total` **and** `is_complete` is true.
122
+
123
+ *Worked example — starting from a session.* `get_declared_plans(session_id: "4f2a…")` returns one plan with `progress: {completed: 2, total: 7, total_known: true, finished: false}` and `is_complete: true`. Branch 2: open, five tasks remain — list them from `tasks`.
124
+
125
+ *Worked example — starting from a summary.* `get_session_summary` shows `declared_plans: [{plan_id: "9c1e…", completed: 7, total: 7, total_known: true, finished: false, is_complete: false, is_current: true}]`. Not branch 1, not branch 2 — branch 3: all seven visible tasks are done, but the view is partial. Report that; do not report the plan as finished. Drill down with `get_declared_plans(plan_id: "9c1e…")` to see which task and note are withheld.

- `round_timeout` is an **inactivity** bound, not a wall-clock cap: a round only fails for taking too long if the reviewer goes genuinely quiet for that whole stretch — an actively-working reviewer can legitimately run a round for a long time. If a status check (or a `submit_review_round`/`start_review_flow` call) returns the benign "Flow still running" text, that is an expected outcome on a long round, not a problem — re-enter the wait with `get_review_flow_status(flow_run_id, wait: true)`, which blocks (via bounded, internally-retried checks — never a raw long-poll) until the round finishes or roughly 8 minutes pass, then call it again if it's still running. A round result of **`unclear` now genuinely means the reviewer went dead or silent** (no activity for the whole inactivity bound, or it crashed/was stopped) — it is no longer a symptom of a merely slow reviewer, so treat it as a liveness problem (see the `participant_unreachable` and `participant_died`/`participant_stopped` entries below), not as "the review is taking a while."

+ **A harness tool timeout is not a flow failure.** `start_review_flow` and `submit_review_round` block for minutes while the reviewer works. If your harness aborts the call with its own tool timeout (on Codex the error reads `timed out awaiting tools/call`), the flow is still running server-side. Do not start a new flow and do not investigate — call `get_review_flow_status(wait: true)`. Without a `flow_run_id` it reads the newest open flow this session started (pass `session_id` for another session's), so it works even when the aborted start never handed you the id or context compaction dropped it; with several open flows it lists them for you to pick from. On a harness that gives the flows server no session identity, it reads the flows started from this workspace on this machine instead.
