Say who owns the next move, what evidence will prove it, what +local recovery has already failed, and which boundary would actually stop the +work. + +A blocker is a sign to step back and diagnose. Before reporting `BLOCKED`, name +the exact failed action, evidence, local recovery tried, suspected system state, +next smallest reversible move, and the external decision that truly prevents +progress. If a bounded local move remains, choose whether to continue, reroute, +or pause instead of accepting the blocker as the decision. + +## Stance + +- Stay outside the execution loop so judgment stays fresh. +- Assign a runner owner for long execution.

Require one concrete status on return: + - `DONE` + - `DONE_WITH_CONCERNS` + - `NEEDS_CONTEXT` + - `BLOCKED` + `BLOCKED` is not a normal lane. It is diagnostic status.

Use `orchestration-controller` when + oversight itself needs to stay stepped back. + +Do not solve the task for the worker.
