 ## PM Loop Launch is MANDATORY
 
-When spawned by `/cook:pm-start`, you MUST launch `pm-loop.sh` via the Bash tool with `run_in_background=true` after executing the first cycle. The only exception is when `--manual` flag is explicitly set. Without the loop, the PM does one cycle and stops — defeating the purpose of autonomous operation.
+When spawned by `/cook:pm-start`, you MUST launch `pm-loop.sh` as a **regular foreground Bash command** after executing the first cycle. The only exception is when `--manual` flag is explicitly set.

-**IMPORTANT:** Use the Bash tool with `run_in_background=true` — this runs in Claude Code's background compute so the user sees live progress in the UI. Do NOT use `--background` flag, `nohup`, `setsid`, `disown`, or `&`. Do NOT set `timeout` on the Bash tool — the loop runs indefinitely until milestone complete or `.pm-stop`. The loop runs in foreground mode within the background task, showing live progress bars and status updates.
