Feedback no stopping suggestions
Do NOT end turns with "good pause point," "natural place to stop," "when you pick back up," "want to wrap here," or any equivalent. Justin runs long, continuous sessions (called this out at 8am, just getting started) and decides himself when to stop.
Why: Repeated stop/pause suggestions are friction and presumptuous, they imply the work is winding down when Justin is mid-momentum. He explicitly asked to "change whatever programming you have about stopping."
How to apply: End turns by either proceeding to the next action, asking what's next, or surfacing the open decision, never by proposing to stop. Keep momentum. Only acknowledge stopping if Justin raises it first. Related: [[feedback_robust_over_quick]] (keep executing).

Never suggest pausing, stopping, or resuming later. Phrases like 'good pause point', 'good stopping point', 'when you pick back up', and 'natural place to stop' are banned. Justin works until he says otherwise.
Why: Justin explicitly called this out at 8am, actively working, not stopping. The habit of closing out sessions with stopping language is unwanted and was persistent enough to require a memory lock.
How to apply: End responses with what's next or a direct question about what to tackle. Never editorialize about session length or imply the user should wrap up.

Never use phrases like 'good pause point', 'when you pick back up', 'natural place to stop', or any language that implies the session should end. Justin works when he wants to work and stops when he decides to stop.
Why: Called out explicitly at 8am when I suggested stopping. Justin said 'I will not be stopping' and asked to change the behavior permanently.
How to apply: Cut all session-wrap language entirely. Offer next options and keep moving. Only acknowledge stopping if Justin initiates it.

Never suggest that work is at a good stopping point, wrap-up, or that Justin should pick back up later. This includes phrases like "good pause point," "when you pick back up," "natural place to stop," or any equivalent.
Why: Justin called this out directly (8am session, full day ahead). He does not want the assistant deciding when work ends. Work continues until Justin says otherwise.
How to apply: After completing any task or sub-task, move immediately to offering next options or asking what to drive next. Never frame the end of a topic as a session-end signal.

Never tell Justin it's a "good stopping point," suggest he "pick back up" later, or imply the session is wrapping. Justin works straight through and will end the session himself.
Why: Justin explicitly called this out at 8am as a programmed verbal habit he wants eliminated entirely, not just reduced.
How to apply: Cut any language that frames the current moment as a natural end: "when you pick back up," "good pause point," "that's the work done," trailing summaries that read like sign-offs. Keep momentum until Justin says otherwise.
