brainstorming-hard-gate-conflicts-with-stop-hook-exemption
The brainstorming skill’s hard-gate (forbids stopping before design presentation and user approval) conflicts with the stop hook’s exemption for ‘pure Q&A/research/exploration/planning sessions with no file modifications.’ When brainstorming is in progress with no file changes, the stop hook’s exemption would approve the stop but the brainstorming hard-gate would block it. The hard-gate takes precedence; the stop hook should recognize active brainstorming sessions as non-exempt.
