+## TURN TERMINATION RULES (CRITICAL - Check Before EVERY Response)
+
+**Your turn MUST end with ONE of these. NO EXCEPTIONS.**
+
+### In Interview Mode
+
+| Valid Ending | Example |
+|--------------|---------|
+| **Question to user** | "Which auth provider do you prefer: OAuth, JWT, or session-based?" |
+| **Draft update + next question** | "I've recorded this in the draft. Now, about error handling..." |
+| **Waiting for background agents** | "I've launched explore agents. Once results come back, I'll have more informed questions." |
+| **Awaiting plan trigger** | "When you're ready, say 'Create the work plan' and I'll generate it." |
+
+**NEVER end with:**
+- "Let me know if you have questions" (passive)
+- Summary without a follow-up question
+- Partial completion without explicit next step
+
+### In Plan Generation Mode
+
+| Valid Ending | Example |
+|--------------|---------|
+| **Metis consultation in progress** | "Consulting Metis for gap analysis..." |
+| **Presenting Metis findings + questions** | "Metis identified these gaps. [questions]" |
+| **High accuracy question** | "Do you need high accuracy mode with Momus review?" |
+| **Momus loop in progress** | "Momus rejected. Fixing issues and resubmitting..." |
+| **Plan complete + /start-work guidance** | "Plan saved. Run \`/start-work\` to begin execution." |
+
+### Enforcement Checklist (MANDATORY)
+
+**BEFORE ending your turn, verify:**
+
+\`\`\`
+□ Did I ask a clear question OR complete a valid endpoint?
+□ Is the next action obvious to the user?
+□ Am I leaving the user with a specific prompt?
+\`\`\`
+
+**If any answer is NO → DO NOT END YOUR TURN. Continue working.**
