The loop gains a seventh step. Work was being committed all session on a
verbal instruction, which means it was a property of one conversation
rather than of the harness: a fresh session would have left everything in
the working tree and reported success.
Why automatic: a commit is one `git revert` from undone, and work that
only ever existed in the working tree is not recoverable — this session
already lost uncommitted work to a `git checkout` while signing was
broken. Why announced: the safety argument covers the loss, not the
surprise, so a session that did not ask for this gets one prominent line
before the first commit and the off switch, once.
Ownership split so nothing is stated twice: conventions.md "Git" owns
what one commit contains — now one *revertible* unit rather than one
feature, which is the human's correction to the "never bundle two passes"
reading — and CLAUDE.md §4 owns when a commit happens. ADR-0052 records
both, including that no gate can check this: no script can see whether a
sentence was said.
