 For a `hold/` item, show whether it is **parked or declined**, with its reason, from the last `history` entry — that entry is in the frontmatter, so this costs nothing extra.

 **Seeing the roadmap.** When someone asks to see the roadmap or its dependencies, run **`aidlc roadmap view`** rather than drawing a graph. It writes one self-contained HTML page — a kanban board of every item by status, and a zoomable map of the `depends_on` chains with blocked items and unknown ids marked — and opens it in the browser (`--no-open` only writes it; `--out <path>` writes it elsewhere). The page lives in the git common dir, outside every working tree, so it is never committed and nothing rebuilds it on a move; run the command again for a fresh one. `aidlc roadmap graph` is the same command.

 The proposed rank is never written without the person's answer: a rank nobody looked at reads exactly like a decided one. There is no scoring formula; the person decides and the flow only proposes. Projects that do not declare `priority` triage exactly as before, with no rank asked for.
 
+### Run mode on the way in
+
+When the project declares `run` in `roadmap.item_fields`, the same moment also settles whether autopilot may build the item alone: `run: autopilot` or `run: attended`. Autopilot picks with `aidlc roadmap next --autopilot`, which leaves `attended` items for a person; a person's `aidlc roadmap next` still offers them.
+
+1. **Propose** `autopilot` or `attended` with a one-line reason, alongside the proposed rank. `attended` fits an item that changes what a gate trusts, or needs a decision before any code; `autopilot` fits hours of work with a clear reproduction and a clear fix.
+2. Ask it **in the same question as the rank** — one answer gives both, for example "rank 3, attended". Never a second question.
+3. Write the answer to the item's `run:` line as text, adding the line after `priority:` when it is missing. Edit only that line; nothing else in the frontmatter changes.
+
+Never write `run:` without the person's answer, for the reason the rank is never written without one. An item with no `run:` is one autopilot may build, so leaving it unset is a choice, not a neutral default. Projects that do not declare `run` triage exactly as before.

+- Takes items in `aidlc roadmap next --autopilot` order, which leaves out items marked `run: attended`. Builds at most two at once, and never more than the count asked for.
 - Parks an item (moves it to `hold/` with a reason) when its agent stops short of a stop it was told to reach, when CI fails twice, or when it passes the cost cap. An item waiting for a person is never parked, and holds no build slot, so the run goes on starting others.
 - An agent that loses the network exits, and is parked. Sleep cuts the network, so a run on a laptop needs `aidlc autopilot pause` first: it freezes the run and its agents where they are, and `aidlc autopilot resume` carries on.
 - Before each merge, brings the item's branch up to date with main and waits for CI on the new head. A conflict with main goes back to the item's agent, twice at most, then the item is parked. A pull request someone merged by hand is dropped from tracking.
