The builder wedged at the context limit (garbled output) — alive but matching
none of heal_session's signals (dead/FATAL/limit), so the watchdog left it
stuck. Fix: loops now declare every wait, and the watchdog reboots a wait that
never resumes.
- plan.md §7 + both prompts: cap every wait at 10 min (chunk longer waits);
before going idle, the loop's FINAL line must be `WAITING-UNTIL: <ISO8601 UTC>`
(the resume time, matching its ScheduleWakeup); run /compact proactively at
~80% context to avoid wedging near the limit.
- launch.sh: new stall_check (runs every 30s signal tick) — reboots a loop idle
>= STALL_IDLE (300s) when it has NO current WAITING-UNTIL marker as its last
message OR is past the time the marker named; a healthy paced wait (marker
present, before its time) is left alone. Complements heal_session's
dead/FATAL/limit cases. Reboot is safe — loops re-orient from git + STATUS.
