 3. Write the brief in the order of the output contract below, in the language of the user's prompt (Korean prompt, Korean brief; `--en` forces English). Technical tokens stay verbatim.
 4. Copy every gauge string exactly as the collector printed it. Never draw, round or estimate a gauge yourself.
 5. End with the one next step from `next`. When `next.command` is present, name that slash command (`/start-work plans/<f>.md`); otherwise say the step continues in chat, never a `go` to type.
@@ -63,7 +63,7 @@ Then the brief has five parts, in this order:
 2. **A full card per live session, a table for ended ones.** Waiting, active and unknown sessions get a full card: a status badge (`● waiting on you`, `▶ active`, `○ unknown`, in the user's language), the goal in plain words (the first ask, clipped), a real gauge or the known-facts line, `now:` naming the last tool call on active sessions, what was done (tools used and commits), what is next. Group cards under their worktree when sessions span more than one. Ended sessions collapse to one table row each (id, folder, goal, age, done; at most eight, newest first).
 3. **Roadmap timeline.** Done `✓` (landed commits with dates), now `▶` (the current item of each open plan), later `○` (remaining names), then litgoal objectives with their gauges. Plans from other worktrees carry their worktree name. When `plansOmitted` is above zero, say how many more open plans exist. Only plans changed inside the window are listed, this worktree's too; a fully ticked plan is finished work for the opener, never a roadmap row.
 4. **Paused work.** Each paused bounded-work run from `startWork` with its gauge and an approval offer: `answer in chat to approve or deny the boundary`. Approval stays with the user in words; the grant settles it. Never start or approve it yourself.
-5. **One next step in a box.** Exactly one, from `next`: what it does, then the slash command when `next.command` names one, otherwise "continue in chat". When `next` is `none`, the first `## Next` item of this worktree's own HANDOFF.md (`handoffs[].next` with `local: true`) is the step (`HANDOFF.md Next: <item>`); without one, show the suggestion the collector printed. Either is shown, never recorded, and never a second candidate.
+5. **One next step in a box.** Exactly one, from `next`: what it does, then the slash command when `next.command` names one, otherwise "continue in chat". When `next` is `wait-lanes`, other lanes of this repo are at work (`lanes.count`: other live sessions plus herdr agents working or blocked here, each counted once): the box says to wait for them, or to answer the one waiting on the user (`lanes.waiting`), names no command, and the brief's last line is `Do not type \`go\` until they finish.` / `지금은 \`go\`는 입력하지 마세요.` When `next` is `none`, show the suggestion the collector printed. It ranks live signals first (a session waiting on the user, then lanes at work, with the same last line), then the current item of an open plan, then the first open `## Next` item of this worktree's newest HANDOFF file (`handoffs[].next` with `local: true`, written `HANDOFF.md Next: <item>`; items marked ✅, ✓, `[x]`, ~~struck~~, DONE or SHIPPED are skipped), then other sessions. It is shown, never recorded, and never a second candidate.
 
 **Progress gauges (D9), required.** One real gauge per session and per plan, each copied verbatim from the collector, in the form `[▉▉▉░░] 3/5` (filled `▉` done, light `░` remaining, then done/total). The remaining items are listed by name under each gauge, from its `remaining` array, clipped by the collector to fit. A gauge renders only when both numbers are real: an unknown total is the known-facts line (`… 3 steps`, or `… running` when nothing is counted), never `?`, never a guess, never an estimate, never a gauge of your own.

 Plans, goals, handoffs, the stack and start-work states are read first; sessions are read after them, newest first, under one 8 MiB budget for the whole run; a session belongs to a worktree when the repo root or cwd its record carries sits inside it. Archived and hidden sessions are skipped. Every string is redacted before it leaves the collector: credential shapes, `NAME=value` with a secret-like name, URI userinfo, any current environment value of eight or more characters, and the home directory (shown as `~`).

-After a brief, the user's bare `go` (also `lit go`, `ㄱㄱ`, `고`, `진행`, as the whole prompt) continues the step the brief offered, in the same session, within 30 minutes. The prompt hook reads the next-step record the collector wrote for this session and tells the model what to do next: a paused boundary is shown for a chat answer, an active run continues in chat, a single open plan starts through `/start-work`. Anything else typed after the brief is an ordinary prompt. A plan saved under `plans/` in a lit-plan turn writes the same record (`start-plan`), so `go` right after planning shows that plan's `/start-work` command too. There is no typed `go` command on Hermes; `go` is a word the hook consumes, and an expired or missing record reads as no next step on record.
