-For each significant decision in this plan, classify as REVERSIBLE (can change later with low cost) or IRREVERSIBLE (changing later requires migration, breaking changes, or significant rework). Spend analysis time proportional to irreversibility. For irreversible decisions, document the rationale in the plan.
+For each significant decision in this plan, ask what undoing it would cost three phases from now, and rate it `reversible` (local and cheap to change), `costly` (undo touches many call sites or needs a coordinated change), or `one-way` (undo requires a migration, breaks a published contract, or is impossible). Spend analysis time proportional to the rating. Record the rating and a one-line rationale on the task that implements the decision, via `<reversibility>`; a `one-way` rating also earns a `checkpoint:decision` before that task. When unsure, rate it `reversible` — rating everything `one-way` is checkpoint fatigue, not diligence.
+
+This is the reasoning step that produces the rating. The taxonomy itself, the emission rules, and the anti-patterns live in @~/.claude/gsd-core/references/planner-reversibility.md — do not maintain a second classification here.

+**Return handling — exhaustive, no fallthrough (#2257).** Every return from the session manager falls into exactly one of three buckets. Do not treat "not recognized" as "complete."
+
+1. **Terminal — complete.** Summary shows `DEBUG SESSION COMPLETE` (without an `ABANDONED` status line): the session is finished. Stop.
+2. **Terminal — abandoned.** Summary shows `ABANDONED`: note session saved at `.planning/debug/{slug}.md` for later `/gsd:debug continue {slug}`. Stop.

Do NOT return control to the user; do NOT report the session as complete.
+
+**Anti-loop guard.** Two independent stops apply; the orchestrator honors whichever trips first:
+
+1. **No-progress heuristic (fast early-stop).** Before each auto-resume, record the checkpoint's `next_action` from `.planning/debug/{slug}.md`. Do NOT key this off `updated` — the session manager overwrites `updated` on every checkpoint write (`agents/gsd-debugger.md`: "Update the file BEFORE taking action"), so it changes every cycle and can never signal no-progress; an AND-condition on `updated` is permanently false and makes the guard dead. After the resumed spawn returns, compare `next_action` against the pre-spawn value. If two consecutive auto-resumes complete with `next_action` UNCHANGED, STOP auto-resuming: print a blocker report to the user — checkpoint path, status, next_action, and "N auto-resumes made no progress" — and return control.
+2. **Absolute hard cap (real termination bound).** Independent of content: the orchestrator tracks a running total of auto-resume spawns for this `slug` within the current `/gsd:debug` invocation. After **3** total auto-resumes for the slug, STOP auto-resuming and emit the blocker report REGARDLESS of whether `next_action` changed. This hard cap is the guaranteed termination bound; the no-progress heuristic above is only a faster early exit before the cap is reached.
+
+**Note — session-manager-internal pause points.** Genuine user input / architectural decisions, destructive-action approvals, unresolved blockers, unrepairable gate failures, and readiness-for-native-UAT are all handled INSIDE `gsd-debug-session-manager` via `AskUserQuestion` (Step 3d `CHECKPOINT REACHED`) — the manager pauses, collects the response, and loops internally; it does not return to the orchestrator for these. The orchestrator only ever sees the two terminal markers (`DEBUG SESSION COMPLETE`, `ABANDONED`) or a non-terminal return that triggers auto-resume — the classification above stays strictly terminal-vs-non-terminal, with no third orchestrator-visible "stop for user" return type.
