Decisions taken while the owner slept

Agents do not get tired, so sooner or later someone leaves one running overnight. That needs rules for an empty room.

On this project the status log has a heading for it: decisions taken while the owner slept. Each is a call the owner would normally make, written down, and reversible in data.

One rule is enforced in code. Nothing makes a sound while the owner is asleep: every batch run sets the audio listener to zero before the first scene loads, and a test checks the real listener.

And one honest exception is on the record. The owner’s sign-off on some art was theirs to give, they asked the work to continue through the night, and the agent judged the captures itself. The log says so, and adds that their call still stands.

Autonomy is mostly bookkeeping. A person waking up needs to know what was decided, and how to undo it.
