  | `renew_story_claim` | Renew your claim's lease (`POST /stories/:id/renew-claim`, agent key). A claim not renewed before `claimed_until` (default 24 hours, `STORY_CLAIM_LEASE_SECONDS`) is released back to `pending` under you, so renew well inside it on any story held longer. Required: `story_id`, `claim_epoch` (from the claim). Refusals pass through: 400 epoch missing or malformed, 422 `not_claimed`, 409 `stale_claim_epoch` (the claim has ended: stop working it), 409 `not_claimant`. Needs a loopctl server with claim leases. |
223
+ | `escalate_story` | Park a story you hold for a HUMAN and stop (`POST /stories/:id/escalate`, agent key). This is what an unattended session calls INSTEAD of asking a question — a headless run has no way to ask, so escalating is the affordance. Use it when the request contradicts an existing story, KB decision or documented behaviour, when it inverts or removes behaviour a previous story deliberately added, when it is a workflow change rather than a defect fix, or when it needs a business call — not for an ordinary blocker. ONE-WAY from your side: only a human moves the story off `escalated`, so on success STOP and report. Required: `story_id`, `claim_epoch`, `reason` (verbatim, treated as untrusted data, length capped by the server in codepoints — a 400 names the bound); optional `payload` object. Idempotent under the same epoch. Refusals pass through: 409 `stale_claim_epoch`, 409 `not_claimant`, 404 `unknown_story_stage`, 400 for a malformed epoch or reason. An orchestrator or user key is 403'd on purpose. |

The story object is NOT a parameter: loopctl builds it from its own rows and refuses a caller-supplied one. The story must be `contracted` with its stage at `queued`. Requires `LOOPCTL_USER_KEY`. |

This is how you watch a run, and the only way to see why a stage report was refused `stale_stage`. `escalation_reason` is untrusted session text. Required: `story_id`. |

10

11

13
+ * RUNNABLE (place a dispatch) and OBSERVABLE (read a story's stage, resolve an escalation).

15

18

19
+ * tree, and an agent key is refused `insufficient_role` before anything is written.
20
+ * - `resolve_escalation` is the HUMAN half of the escalation pair: a `:user` key no dispatch
21
+ * minted. The agent key that raises an escalation is 403'd on it by design.
22
+ * - `story_stage` is a read and takes whatever key the caller has.

57

58
+ * idempotent ON THAT ID: a retry carrying the same one re-sends the frame rather than starting
59
+ * a second session, and a caller that cannot name it cannot retry safely. A caller repeating a
60
+ * call after a timeout should pass the id it used the first time.
61
+ *
62
+ * `repo`, `base_branch`, `branch`, `wall_clock_seconds` and `max_turns` are REQUIRED BY THE
63
+ * CONTRACT and are not required here, because loopctl fills each one from its own records
64
+ * (`Loopctl.Delivery.DispatchPayload`): the repository and its base branch from the project's
65
+ * intake source, the branch from the story, the budgets from the operator's configuration. An
66
+ * override passed here wins. This is not a convenience — a payload missing one of them is
67
+ * refused by `cast_dispatch/1`, which runs AFTER the claim and two immutable chain entries, so
68
+ * a client that had to know a repository name would pay for that mistake every time.
69
+ *
70
+ * The STORY OBJECT is not a parameter and may not be: loopctl builds it from its own rows, and
71
+ * a caller-supplied one is refused `story_not_accepted` — a control plane able to hand a runner
72
+ * prose is able to run anything on that machine.
