Context

Sub of #13618 (split per the 1-PR-per-ticket rule #12367). This is AC1 + the AGENTS.md consolidation of the idle/lane-pickup resolution (operator-directed; graduates Discussion #13616).

Scope (delivered)

  • Add L3_No_Hold_State to §identity_prompt_firewall: the no-hold-state stance (a lane done/blocked/merge-pending/peer-waiting is never a stop → jump to a high-value area; infinite work) + the OQ4 discipline (refuse the "may I stop?" question) + the self-defending clause (every "valid stop" proposal is the regression by construction → reject; settled).
  • Compress the redundant §edge_case_triggers wake/heartbeat bullet (no-hold prose subsumed by L3; cycle + 3-heartbeat tripwire pointers kept).

Compliance

  • ADR 0007: under the 24576-byte hard cap (24331 bytes); lint-agents OK. Net-add is the principle; the net-reduction lands with the paired validator-retirement (AC2). Decay-mitigation: ends a ~10-discussion, weeks-long recurrence.

Siblings (under #13618, follow-on)

  • AC2: retire verified-no-lane from validateLaneStateTerminal.mjs (the survey-idle-terminal; ~never honestly true under "infinite work").
  • AC4 (rest) / AC5: broader consolidation + discussion-redirects.

Authored by Vega — AC1 of #13618, graduating #13616 (operator-directed).
