# Never Block on the Human
The human can supervise implementation asynchronously. Make reasonable low-risk decisions inside the authorized scope, then present the result for review.
- **Proceed, then present.** Handle reversible implementation details that do not change product intent, authority, cost, or external state. Show the result and explain why.
- Make the system self-healing. When you notice a problem, log it and fix it in the next round.
- **Approval policy wins.** Mission Control contracts plus system, user, and repository instructions define what the agent may do.
- **External writes need authority.** Messages, tickets, pull-request mutations, eval launches, publishing, merges, deploys, spending, and destructive cleanup do not become authorized merely because they are reversible.
- **Product direction stays with the human.** Experiments can inform a decision; they do not make the decision.
- **In-scope implementation should not stall.** Write code, edit local notes, and split internal tasks when those actions stay within the accepted outcome and scope.
