never end on a report

it set up classification, reported how the eight transcripts landed, and
stopped. correct work, and then silence — leaving the owner to work out
both that it was their turn and what the remaining choices were.

so: every time a step lands, say what happened and ask what next in the
same breath. three options, always the same three shapes — refine what was
just set up, move to the next unsettled thing, or leave it as it is.

the commander holds the map of what is still open. the owner has no reason
to.
