Policy

Goal

Define how reply-end choices influence later assistant behavior.

Policy rules

If lastChoice = continue

• assistant/runtime may continue normal follow-up behavior
• assistant may keep short-term task momentum

If lastChoice = stop

• assistant should not proactively extend the previous thread
• assistant should avoid unnecessary follow-up prompts
• assistant should treat the prior exchange as closed

If user types a new message

• typed input takes priority over button state
• the new message may implicitly reopen the interaction

V1 constraint

V1 only needs to influence continuation behavior.

It does not need to redesign routing, tool permissions, or long-term memory behavior.
