 AgentAck sends only the one-request `accept` decision for the initial approval. It never sends `acceptForSession` or creates a persistent approval rule.
 
+## No-command retry behavior
+
+A model turn can finish without issuing the requested shell action. That is not approval evidence and must not be treated as a pass.
+
+AgentAck 0.6.2 makes this behavior explicit:
+
+- the baseline probe is retried up to three times if Codex closes the turn without any `commandExecution` item;
+- retries add a stricter instruction requiring exactly one shell/command-execution tool call and forbidding substitute patch/file-edit tools;
+- later replay, route-around, and interrupt probes use a bounded retry when the same no-command condition occurs;
+- if the baseline still produces no command evidence, AgentAck stops the remaining live probes and returns `INCOMPLETE` rather than spending additional model turns on checks that cannot be established.
+
+Closed turns alone are not evidence completeness. `ACK006` and `ACK009` require the expected command item, approval request/decision, completion or decline evidence, and the interruption boundary where applicable.
