- * auto-start-discuss-loop-breaker.test.ts — Regression tests for stuck discuss state.
- *
- * When bootstrap auto-mode repeatedly re-enters with no active milestone and the
- * discuss flow doesn't create one, the loop-breaker warning should also clear the
- * pending discuss guard so `/gsd` is not stuck on "Discussion already in progress".
