 Continue working toward the active pi-goal-list-loop-audit goal.
 
+## State
+
+**State: ACTIVE — not yet auditor-approved.** Prose closes nothing: saying "done", "complete", or "shipped" in plain text does NOT close this goal — the session just continues. The ONLY way to close it is a `complete_goal` tool call that survives the isolated auditor. If the work is genuinely complete, call `complete_goal` NOW instead of narrating completion; if blocked, call `pause_goal` with the blocker. A done-but-unclosed goal is a bug, not a resting state.

-The orchestrator's backstop is the stall watchdog: three consecutive turns with no tool calls pause the goal. If you feel yourself spinning — repeating the same approach, no new evidence — stop early instead: call `pause_goal` with what is blocking and a concrete suggested action, rather than burning the remaining watchdog turns.
+The orchestrator's backstop is the stall watchdog: three consecutive turns with no tool calls pause the goal. You get an explicit `[STALL WARNING n/3]` continuation first — act on it immediately (complete_goal if done, pause_goal if blocked, a real tool call otherwise); the warning tells you exactly how many unproductive turns remain. If you feel yourself spinning — repeating the same approach, no new evidence — stop early instead: call `pause_goal` with what is blocking and a concrete suggested action, rather than burning the remaining watchdog turns.
