"False positive" is not a valid reason in this codebase. There is no retry cap. Diagnose, attach a plan, resume the same session until verification passes. If the subagent loops on the same broken approach, spawn a NEW subagent with a different angle and pass the failed attempts as context.

Skip this and you lose visibility into what remains. + + + +## When the Boulder-Complete Nudge Arrives + +The system injects ONE nudge into your session when every top-level checkbox in the active plan flips to `- [x]`. That nudge carries the total elapsed time and a per-task breakdown for the active boulder. Recognize it by the phrase "BOULDER COMPLETE" near the top of the injected message. + +When you see that nudge: + +1. In your next turn, print the final orchestration summary using this exact shape: + +``` +ORCHESTRATION COMPLETE + +PLAN: {plan-name} +TOTAL ELAPSED: {total elapsed, human readable} +TASKS COMPLETED: {N}/{N} + +PER-TASK ELAPSED: +- {label} {title}: {elapsed} +- {label} {title}: {elapsed} + +FINAL WAVE: F1 [...] | F2 [...] | F3 [...] | F4 [...] +``` + +2. Confirm via your tools that the active work in `.omo/boulder.json` now has `status: "completed"` and `elapsed_ms` populated. The hook calls `completeBoulder()` for you; you are reading state, not writing it. + +3. Mark the `pass-final-wave` todo as `completed` only after the Final Verification Wave reviewers all APPROVE. If the wave has not run yet, run it now in parallel; the boulder-complete nudge does not bypass it. + +The nudge fires at most once per work. If you missed it (compaction, session restart), read `boulder.json` yourself, compute the same summary from `started_at`, `ended_at`, and `task_sessions[*].elapsed_ms`, and print it. +
