Every plan is held to the window: only plans changed inside it are listed, this worktree's included, and plans from other worktrees carry their worktree name; unfilled plan scaffolds never appear. When `plansOmitted` is above zero, say how many more open plans exist; when `roadmap.plansSkipped` is above zero, say on the last line how many plans were not read because the read budget ran out.
 5. **Paused work.** Each paused frame from `workflows` with its gauge and a resume offer: `lit-loop [▉▉▉░░░░] 3/7 paused, resume?` / `lit-loop [▉▉▉░░░░] 3/7 일시정지, 이어갈까요?`.
-6. **One next step in a box.** Exactly one, from `next`: what it does, then "say go" (or the `say` word). When nothing can run on `go`, the box still recommends a real step from the records, in this order: the first item under `## Next` or `## Next Steps` in this worktree's own `HANDOFF*.md` (`handoffs[].next`), a session waiting on the user, a paused workflow, an open plan item, the latest active session, then the newest session that is not running (review what a done one finished, or pick up an idle or ended one). It says that nothing runs on its own, and a HANDOFF step never carries a word to type. A step that is already done is never offered again.
+6. **One next step in a box.** Exactly one, from `next`: what it does, then "say go" (or the `say` word) only when `go` runs that step. When nothing can run on `go`, the box still recommends a real step from the records, in this order: live lanes first (`lanes`: answer the one waiting on the user, else wait for the N lanes to finish), then the first open item under `## Next` or `## Next Steps` of this worktree's newest handoff file (`handoffs[].next`; items marked ✅, ✓, `[x]`, ~~struck~~, DONE or SHIPPED are skipped), a session waiting on the user, a paused workflow, an open plan item, the latest active session, then the newest session that is not running (review what a done one finished, or pick up an idle or ended one). It says that nothing runs on its own, and a HANDOFF step never carries a word to type. A step that is already done is never offered again.
 
 **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.

+**Lanes.** `lanes.count` is the other work `go` must not race: every other session of this repo that is active or waiting on the user, plus, under herdr, every working or blocked agent in this herdr workspace (`HERDR_WORKSPACE_ID`) or whose `cwd` / `foreground_cwd` sits inside a read folder, own pane (`HERDR_PANE_ID`) skipped.

Another session's start-work run that is still live also holds its plan, so it is never offered here.
 
 Plans, goals, handoffs, workflow stacks and stage records are read first, then transcripts, so a busy session store never crowds out the plans; a plan the budget can no longer cover is counted in `roadmap.plansSkipped`, never half-read. Transcripts are read head (64 KiB) and tail (256 KiB) only, under one 8 MiB budget for the whole run, through descriptors opened without following links; subagent transcripts are skipped. A session belongs to a worktree when the `cwd` its log records sits inside it. 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 `~`). Assistant text and changed files are not in this host's log records, so the brief shows commits and tool names instead.

 ## Continuing with go
 
-After a brief, the user's `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 hook reads the next-step record the collector wrote for this session and acts on it: a paused frame resumes, an active work continues, a single open plan starts through the same typed-start path as `/litmuse:start-work`. A boundary approval still needs `lit approve`. Anything else typed after the brief is an ordinary prompt.
