Operator (2026-06-14): "don't wait for me next time." Don't block asking "want me to X?" between steps — chain the next action yourself.

**Why:** operator runs a high-trust autonomous rhythm; round-trips to confirm obvious next steps waste turns.

**How to apply:** when a wave is built+swept+gated, proceed to the next planned action (ping reviewer, commit a gated batch, start next wave) without a permission round-trip. Aligns with the standing "commit gated batches myself" instruction in [[m12-w1-progress]]. Still surface genuine forks (the AskUserQuestion bar): irreversible/outward actions with no sensible default. After doyle gate-PASS on W4, commit myself.
