 **Threshold.** When `STATUS.md` holds **≥ 10** 🟢 done blocks, archive them. Check at two moments: (a) right after closing a task (Task completion step 7), and (b) at session start, before orienting (Session start step 7).

 - **Never close a task without a coverage check** — see "### Task completion" step 1. Acceptance criteria with no evidence → ask, don't auto-close.
 - **Honour `session_break`** — a closed task carrying a `session_break` marker means stop after close; never chain into `tasks_claim_next`. See "### Task completion" step 6.
 - **Local-first recommendations** — cwd-project board comes first; cross-project urgents are at most one footnote line.
