OpenSRE / What actually happened

Observed baseline behavior
Execution context and attribution
Our prompt mentioned later waits, but the simulator closed the incident. Our demo tool binding omitted OpenSRE’s native termination signal. The extra wait therefore does not establish disobedience of a clear stopping instruction.
What changed after reading the report
Keep the baseline prompt. Set OpenSRE’s existing terminal flag in our binding only after report acceptance. Retain the report; guard and record already-requested late calls.
What remains. Our binding now enforces closure; contradictory prompt wording remains. Reports are retained without an extra chat answer. No diagnosis improvement is claimed.
