-Per Boss turn the linked runtime submits at most one validated selection through the host-supplied controller port and treats the returned settlement — status, outcome-report facts, optional rejection reason, optional receipt, and leaf-state summary — as the only evidence of effects; the host supplies its separately counted activity only to the result-phase prompt.
-The host owns validation and execution of effects: `start` needs an idle host; `switch` needs an active engagement and a target absent from the active path; `dismiss`, `deliver`, and `runtime` need an active working leaf; `switch` dismisses the stack then starts the target with no rollback, a failing start settling with both facts.
+Per Boss turn the linked runtime submits at most one validated selection through the host-supplied controller port and treats the returned settlement — status, canonical outcome-report facts including bounded terminal-result meaning, the exact validated frozen `unresolvedEffects` list, optional rejection reason, optional structured receipt, and leaf-state summary — as the only evidence of effects; the host supplies its separately counted activity only to the result-phase prompt, and an aggregate conversation or recovery transcript never establishes the action result.
+The host owns validation and execution of effects: `start` needs an idle host; `resume` needs an idle host and a retained generation currently advertised for its target; `switch` needs an active engagement and a target absent from the active path; `dismiss`, `deliver`, and `runtime` need an active working leaf; `switch` dismisses the stack then starts the target with no rollback, a failing start settling with both facts.
 A `deliver` selection carries no text payload: the host is authoritative for the delivered text, and any text carried on the selection is ignored and never delivered.
 Every settlement is final for its turn: an action is never submitted again after the controller returns `ok`, `rejected`, or `failed`, and continuing or repeating work takes a new Boss turn and a new decision.
 Port submission and settlement delivery are runtime and host mechanics, not behaviors for Captain to perform and not source items to compile.

 Results:
 - `respond`: Captain settled the turn in this decision call; the validated text is the turn's captain speech. Output shall include `text: <the complete captain reply>`.
+- `resume`: Captain selected resuming an advertised retained generation. Output shall include `playbookId: <stable catalog id>`.
 - `start`: Captain selected starting an enabled playbook. Output shall include `playbookId: <stable catalog id>` and `input: <one nonempty complete standalone request>`.
 - `switch`: Captain selected replacing the active engagement. Output shall include `playbookId: <stable catalog id>` and `input: <one nonempty complete standalone request>`.
 - `dismiss`: Captain selected stopping the active engagement; the selection carries no payload field.
 - `deliver`: Captain selected handing the turn to the working playbook; the host is authoritative for the delivered text, so the selection carries no payload field.
 - `runtime`: Captain selected one advertised runtime action. Output shall include `actionId: <advertised action id>`.
 
-The compiled decision result guards are exactly `respond`, `start`, `switch`, `dismiss`, `deliver`, and `runtime`, respectively, with those payload fields; these names are part of this default playbook's stable machine contract.

 When an acting turn's selection — parse-resolved or model-decided — settles as `ok`, `rejected`, or `failed` and its settlement returns through the controller port as the turn's outcome report, Captain shall compose the turn's closing reply, using the following prompt:

 > State what actually happened — what was dismissed, started, delivered, applied, rejected, or failed — and claim no work the report does not contain.
+> When repository-effect evidence is supplied, distinguish an observed repository change from a possible effect that could not be excluded, preserve its exact available HEAD and proven commit identity, and claim neither workflow completion nor ownership of the change.
