brainstorming-skill-hard-gate-blocks-stop-hook-approval

The brainstorming skill’s hard-gate (requiring design presentation + user approval + spec writing + spec review + writing-plans invocation before terminal state) conflicts with the Stop hook’s ‘pure Q&A/research/planning with no file modifications — APPROVE stop’ exemption clause. The hard-gate takes precedence, causing repeated BLOCK verdicts even for sessions with no code changes. The stop hook should recognize active brainstorming sessions as non-exempt regardless of file modification status.
