Only restore held verification text when the loop genuinely ends through budget exhaustion. Preserve later interrupts and failures, keep generated-summary fragment explanations, and add regression coverage for both contracts.
Treat intent-ack continuation text as non-final so last-turn exhaustion requests a real summary instead of surfacing a premature promise. Keep iteration-limit fallback text free of the abnormal-fragment explainer.
Track held-back verification responses explicitly so budget exhaustion returns the composed report without a second model call. Keep unrelated error and recovery exit reasons intact, preserve Kanban timeout accounting, and cover the real run_conversation paths.
