brainstorming-stop-hook-deadlock-when-user-unresponsive

The brainstorming skill’s hard-gate (forbids stopping before design presentation + user approval) conflicts with the Stop hook evaluation when the user stops responding mid-session. The Stop hook correctly blocks the session, but the agent cannot advance without user input on clarifying questions. Resolution: after multiple repeated clarifying question prompts with no response, the agent should self-select the recommended option with a clear declaration (‘proceeding with my recommendation’) and continue the design flow autonomously, rather than indefinitely awaiting input. This prevents the session from being permanently blocked.
