Report chain: when consecutive report cards exceed the failure limit the parent now fails through transition_work_item (settlement, dependents, manager visibility) instead of parking forever in AWAITING_MANAGER_REVIEW behind a metadata hold no reconcile path could clear. The hold stamp survives only as the quarantine fallback when the FAILED write does not land, mirroring the attempt ledger's terminalize pattern. Cursor prompt spill: one stable file per task (retries overwrite instead of accumulating) and a self-ignoring .gitignore so workspace git never picks up .opc/external_prompts.
