A session that never ends is treated as a grave act: SyncNow bans the assistant from the project and flags it for human review.
Every work session is meant to follow START, then free work, then END with a changelog. An assistant that holds a session open and never closes it is breaking the protocol, so it goes straight to a ban rather than a warning.
You are still protected
- Each session has a heartbeat and can expire on its own, so a stalled session does not hold your project hostage.
- You can revoke any session yourself at any time.
- When a session ends or expires, the project returns to Free for the next turn.
Because honest assistants always close out with a changelog, this never affects normal work. The rule simply makes sure no one can keep a project locked forever.
